Questions and Answers

What did John Dalton's Atomic Theory propose about atoms?

  • Atoms of different elements can combine in constant ratios to form new substances. (correct)
  • Atoms consist of definite particles called protons.
  • Atoms of different elements have the same properties.
  • Atoms can be created, divided, or subdivided by a chemical means.

According to the Raisin Bun or Plum Pudding Model, how did J.L. Thomson view the structure of an atom?

  • An atom had a nucleus consisting of positive particles and space surrounding it.
  • An atom had a nucleus where the negatives and positives resided close to one another. (correct)
  • An atom was a structure with positive and negative particles distributed randomly.
  • An atom was a densely packed object with only positive particles.

What did the Gold Foil Experiment prove about the composition of an atom?

  • Atom was composed primarily of negative particles.
  • Atom was composed primarily of space because most particles were deflected at angles. (correct)
  • Atom was composed primarily of protons and neutrons.
  • Atom was completely solid with no space within it.
