1. More than 2000 years ago this Greek wise man reasoned that all matter could be
divided into tiny particles that he called atoms.
Dalton
Democritus
Rutherford
Mr. Atom
2. Around 1800 this English scientist believed that atoms could not be split, made, or
destroyed. Since then we have discovered this is not true.

6. In the Bohr models of atoms protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and electrons
are orbiting in energy shells.
True
False
7. The electron rotates around the nucleus at a slow rate so it will not fly away.
True
False
8. If an atom has an equal amount of Protons and electrons, what will its’ charge be?
O Positive
O Negative
O Neutral
O Infinite
9. Which atomic theory model is the most modern?
O Bohr
O Shrodinger
O Rutherford
O Quantum
gold
10. Rutherford used a thin metal foil in his experiment.
11. Refer to the video on Rutherford’s experiment and complete the following.

electrons
orbits
12. Use your notes and understanding from the Atomic Structure to answer the
following questions.
protons
1. The atomic number tells the number of positively charged in the
nucleus of an atom. The atom is neutral because this is also the number of
negatively charged electrons in the atom.
neutrons
2. The mass number tells the total number of protons and in the
nucleus of an atom. These particles collectively are called nucleons since both
are located in the nucleus.
13. Write true/False. Correct the false statements.
F
a. The nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and electrons. …………………
T
a. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons. …………………
F
b. The first shell can hold maximum 8 electrons. ………………….
c. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of neutrons.
