Order the theories from oldest to most recent. START ORDER Atoms consist of mostly empty space with a dense nucleus of positive charge. Atoms are tiny indivisible particles that make up all matter. Electrons occupy specific energy levels surrounding a positively charged nucleus. Electrons move about a positively charged nucleus in clouds that are defined by probabilities. Negatively charged electrons are embedded in a mass of positive charge. END ORDER 2

How did the charge distribution in the plum pudding model affect alpha particles passing through an atom?
One of the best indications of a useful theory is that it raises more questions for further experimentation than it originally answered. How does this apply to Dalton’s atomic theory? Give examples.
True or false? Rutherford’s bombardment experiments with metal foil suggested that the particles were being deflected by coming near a large, positively charged atomic nucleus.
Explain the operation of a cathode-ray tube. Describe the deflection of cathode rays by electrically charged plates placed within the cathode-ray tube. What does this imply about cathode rays?
In what way are isotopes of a given element always different? In what way(s) are they always the same?
Where are neutrons found in an atom? Are neutrons positively charged, negatively charged, or electrically uncharged?
Hundreds of years ago, alchemists tried to turn lead into gold. Is this possible? If not, why not? If yes, how would you do it?
It is good practice to actively read the textbook and to try to verify claims that are made when you can. The following claim is made in your textbook: “. . . if the nucleus were the size of a grape, the electrons would be about 1 mile away on average.” Provide mathematical support for this statement.
An atom that has lost three electrons will have a charge of .
