Resumo de Recurso

Questão 1

Questão
Ernest Rutherford came up with the 'Plum Pudding' model.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 2

Questão
In 1909, Rutherford tried firing alpha particles at thin gold foil to see what happened.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 3

Questão
Most of the alpha particles in Rutherford's experiment went straight through the gold foil. What did Rutherford figure out from this?
Responda

  • There are positive particles in the atom.
  • Alpha particles cannot travel very far.

Questão 4

Questão
Some of the alpha particles in Rutherford's experiment deflected when they through the gold foil. What did Rutherford figure out from this?
Responda
  • Gold is mostly empty space.
  • The nucleus of an atom is very small compared to the rest of it.
  • There are positive particles in the atom.
  • Alpha particles cannot travel very far.

Questão 5

Questão
A few of the alpha particles in Rutherford's experiment bounced straight back from the gold foil. What did Rutherford figure out from this?
Responda
  • Gold is mostly empty space.
  • The nucleus of an atom is very small compared to the rest of it.
  • There are positive particles in the atom.
  • Alpha particles cannot travel very far.
