- You have learned about three different models of the atom: Dalton’s model, Thomson’s model, and Rutherford’s model. What if Dalton was correct? What would Rutherford have expected from his experiments with the metal foil? What if Thomson was correct? What would Rutherford have expected from his experiments with the metal foil?arrow_forwardOne of the early models of the atom proposed that atoms were wispy balls of positive charge with the electrons evenly distributed throughout. What would you expect to observe if you conducted Rutherfords experiment and the atom had this structure?arrow_forwardConsider Ernest Rutherfords -particle bombardment experiment illustrated in Fig. 2.12. How did the results of this experiment lead Rutherford away from the plum pudding model of the atom to propose the nuclear model of the atom?arrow_forward
- Who discovered the electron? Describe the experiment that led to the deduction that electrons are negatively charged particles.arrow_forwardState the main points of Dalton’s atomic theory usingyour own words. Which parts of Dalton’s theory werelater found to be erronous? Explain why.arrow_forwardThe Rutherford experiment was performed and its conclusions reached before protons and neutrons were discovered. When they were found, why was it believed that they were in the nucleus of the atom?arrow_forward
- A chemistry instructor makes the following claim: Consider that if the nucleus were the size of a grape, the electrons would be about I mile away on average. Is this claim reasonably accurate? Provide mathematical support.arrow_forwardWithout consulting your textbook or notes, state as many points as you can of Dalton’s atomic theory. Explain in your own words each point of the theory.arrow_forwardThomson and Rutherford helped to show that atoms consist of three types of subatomic particles, two of which are charged. What if subatomic particles had no charge? How would this affect what you have learned?arrow_forward
- What is meant by stating that the charge of an electron is 1? What is the symbol of the electron?arrow_forwardYour friend tells you about an article that he read in a tabloid that reported the discovery of a new form of carbon containing eight protons in the nucleus of its atoms. He claims that scientists are eager to explore the properties of this new form of carbon. What is wrong with the tabloid's claim? a. Nothing. The claim is believable. b. The claim must be false because an atom with eight protons would be oxygen, which is already known. c. The claim must be false because all forms of carbon are already known.arrow_forwardAccording to Rutherfords model of the atom, how many electrons would be found in each of the following atoms? a. sodium, which has 11 protons in its nucleus b. calcium, which has 20 protons in its nucleusarrow_forward
