  3. Question 3

    Which observation in Rutherford's experiment showed that an atom has a small dense nucleus?

    • AAll alpha particles passed straight through
    • BA few alpha particles were deflected through large angles
    • CThe gold foil melted
    • DElectrons were emitted from the foil
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    Large deflections indicated a small concentrated positive nucleus

  4. Question 4

    Which subatomic particle has no electric charge?

    • AProton
    • BElectron
    • CNeutron
    • DPositron
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    Neutrons are electrically neutral

  5. Question 5

    An atom has atomic number 16 and mass number 32. How many neutrons does it contain?

    • A16
    • B32
    • C48
    • D8
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Neutrons equal mass number minus atomic number which is 32 minus 16 = 16
