Rutherford used positively charged particles to investigate the structure of the atom. The results surprised him, and he developed the atomic model shown below.

Question illustration
A
A few positive particles bounced back because they bounced off of the net formed by the ovals.
B
A few positive particles bounced back because they were pushed away from the positive center.
C
Most positive particles passed through because of the empty space between the outer edge and the center.
D
Most positive particles passed through because they were attracted by the small particles moving around the center.

Atoms of arsenic (As) are often added to silicon (Si) in a process called doping to change the conductivity of the silicon. How does the addition of arsenic change the conductivity of silicon?

A
An atom of arsenic has one fewer valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity decreases because the arsenic atom gains an electron.
B
An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity decreases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.
C
An atom of arsenic has one fewer valence electron and fewer electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity increases because the arsenic atom gains an electron.
D
An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity increases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.
