2. Dalton’s theory states that atoms cannot be ____________,
________________, or __________________.
3. Atoms of different elements are exactly alike. True or False?
4. How did Dalton think atoms formed new substances?

Thomson Finds Electrons in the Atom


Mark the following statements True or False.
5. In 1897, J. J. Thomson made a discovery that proved the first part of Dalton’s
atomic theory was correct. ____________
6. Thomson discovered that there were small particles inside the atom._______
7. Thomson found that the magnets affected the direction of a cathode-ray tube
beam. _____________
8. Thomson knew the beam was made of particles with a positive charge because
it was pulled toward a positive charge.___________
9. The two types of charges are positive and neutral. __________
10. Objects with the same charges attract each other. ___________
Circle the correct answer.
11. In Thomson’s “plum-pudding” model, electrons are NOT
a. negatively charged.
b. present in every type of atom.
c. collected together in the center of the atom.
d. scattered throughout a blob of positively charged material.
Rutherford Opens an Atomic

12. Before his experiment, Rutherford expected the particles to deflect to the
sides of the gold foil. True or False? (Circle one.)
13. Which of the following statements is NOT part of Rutherford’s revision of
his former teacher’s atomic theory?
a. Atoms are made mostly of empty space.
b. The nucleus is a dense, charged center of the atom.
c. Lightweight, negative electrons move in the nucleus.
d. Most of an atom’s mass is in the nucleus.
e. The diameter of the nucleus of an atom is 10 times smaller than the
diameter of the atom.
