  • Q1
    1. All matter (materials) consists of very small particles called atoms.
    Dalton's Atomic Theory
    30s
  • Q2
    J.J. Thomson worked on cathode rays which he suggested consists of very small negatively charged particles called electrons that deflected away from a negative magnetic field. He then developed the Plum Pudding Model.

  • Q3
    Using a block containing radioactive alpha particles, Rutherford shot these particles at a piece of gold foil which projected these deflected beams onto a circular zinc sulfide fluorescent screen. This lead to the discovery of the nucleus as some alpha particles were deflected at astonishing angles and there had to have been a denser mass or protons in the atom.

  • Q4
    Stresses that the nucleus (of protons and neutrons) take up the center and is extremely small. Just as the nucleus accounts for the weight, the electrons around it account for the space.
