What is the main idea of Rutherford's atomic theory compared to the plum pudding model?

Atoms have a small, dense nucleus at the center.

Atoms have the same density throughout their structure.

Atoms are indivisible particles that cannot be split.

Electrons are scattered evenly throughout the atom.

Which of the following statements best describes the plum pudding model of the atom?

The atom is composed of a positively charged 'pudding' with negatively charged electrons embedded within it.

Atoms are made up of indivisible particles called protons and neutrons.

Electrons orbit the nucleus like planets around the sun.

The atom consists of a solid nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons.

What significant experiment led to the development of Rutherford's atomic model?

The hydrogen emission experiment.

What was a major flaw in the plum pudding model that Rutherford's experiment addressed?

It did not explain the existence of a dense nucleus.

It claimed that atoms are made of only one type of particle.

It suggested that electrons are positive particles.

Which of the following best describes the electrons in the plum pudding model?

Electrons are like raisins embedded in a positively charged dough.

Electrons travel in fixed orbits around the nucleus.

Electrons are dispersed evenly around a solid atom.

Electrons are tightly clustered in the nucleus.

On the banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Fairy Tale A long time ago, a prince and a princess lived in a peaceful place. There were plenty of plum trees around their house. One day the pretty princess, Placid, wanted to eat plums. So Prince Primo went to get plums by himself.

•There are two type of fruit trees namely indigenous and exotic trees. Indigenous trees: • these are fruit trees that grow naturally in an area. •Examples of indigenous trees are baobab, wild loquat, sugar apple, mobola plum and cape figs. Exotic trees: • These are trees which originally grew in other countries and are being grown in Zimbabwe. • Examples of these are oranges, naartjies, bananas, paw paws and avocado. Propagating fruit trees •There are different ways of multiplying or propagating fruit trees. •These include seeds, cuttings and grafting. Seeds: •Indigenous trees usually grow on their own. •They grow from seeds. •The early stages of a growing seed is called germination. •Fruit trees seeds are planted differently from field crops or vegetables. •The seeds are raised in a nursery or individually in containers or polythene pockets. sowing of the seed •Seed boxes, pots or polythene pockets should be filled with soil mixed with organic matter. •Leave about 20mm above the soil for water to collect when watering. •The polythene pocket should be punctured around and beneath to allow water drainage. Cuttings •A cutting is a piece of plant such as a stem, root or leaf that is placed in moist soil. •it will then grow the missing parts to produce a full plant under the right conditions •Mulberry, guavas, granadillas, figs, grapes and apples can be grown using cuttings. Grafting or budding •This is when you slice a piece from one plant and join it onto another plant. •The joining or grafting of these two plants will then grow as a single plant. •It is whereby the upper part (scion) of one plant grows on the root system (root stock) of another plant of another plant
