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.

Marco wants to investigate the chemical properties of sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda. He plans to carry out the tests below.Test 1: Mix a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate into a cup of warm water to see if it dissolves.Test 2: Mix a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate into a cup of vinegar to see if it fizzes.Test 3: Heat a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in the oven to see if its melting point is less than 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

A
Only Test 3 will indicate a chemical property of sodium bicarbonate. Tests 1 and 2 will show a physical property of the substance.
B
Only tests 1 and 2 will indicate chemical properties of sodium bicarbonate. Test 3 will show a physical property of the substance.
C
Only Test 2 will indicate a chemical property of sodium bicarbonate. Tests 1 and 3 will show a physical property of the substance.
D
Only tests 1 and 3 will indicate chemical properties of sodium bicarbonate. Test 2 will show a physical property of the substance.
