Q

What is Dalton’s theory to how atoms react during a chemical reaction

A

Chemical reactions occur when atoms are separated from each other, joined or rearranged in a different combination. (Atoms of one element are never changed into atoms of another element as a result of chemical reaction)

Q

What experimental evidence did Thomson have to say atoms of all elements contain electrons

A

It keeps neutrality, its makes it so that every time we touch something we don’t get shocked

16
Q

Why does it make sense that if an atom loses its electrons it is left with only a positive charge?

A

Because electrons cause negative charge and they are gone so all that’s left is protons and neutrons which both have positive charges

17
Q

Where were the electrons in Thomson’s plum-pudding model of an atom?

A

In the center

18
Q

How did Rutherford’s gold-foil experiment differ from his expectations?

A

Rutherford did not expect the Alpha particles to deflect at such a large angel

19
Q

Is the charge positive or negative in the nucleus of all atoms?

A

Positive

20
Q

In Rutherford’s atomic model, which subatomic particles are located in the nucleus?

A

Protons and Neutrons
