Scientists have changed the model of the atom as they have gathered new evidence. One of the atomic models is shown below.

Question illustration
A
A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back off of the thin metallic foil.
B
Experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.
C
Equations were used to identify regions around the nucleus where electrons would likely be.
D
Cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
3

This is how manganese appears in the periodic table.

Question illustration
A
period symbol of manganese
B
isotope symbol of manganese
C

4

Atoms of two different elements must have different

A
electrical charges.
B
numbers of neutrons.
C

5

While looking at bromine (Br) on the periodic table, a student needs to find another element with very similar chemical properties but with a different atomic mass. Which best describes the student’s options?

A
There are two possible elements, and they are directly to the left and right of bromine.
B
There are two possible elements, and they are directly above and below bromine.
C
There are many possible elements, and they are all in the same vertical column as bromine.
D
There are many possible elements, and they are all in the same horizontal row as bromine.
6

The atomic number of beryllium (Be) is 4, and the atomic number of barium (Ba) is 56. Which comparison is best supported by this information?

A
They are in the same group because they have similar atomic masses, but they are in different periods because they have different chemical properties.
B
They are in the same group because they have similar chemical properties, but they are in different periods because they have very different atomic numbers.
C
They are in the same group because their atomic numbers are each multiples of four, but they are in different periods because they have different chemical properties.
D
They are in the same group because they have similar atomic masses, but they are in different periods because they have very different atomic numbers.
7

How does Rutherford’s model of the atom compare with Thomson’s model?

A
They both describe atoms as small, indivisible spheres.
B
They both describe electrons as moving around the nucleus.
C
They both describe electrons as being surrounded by the positive matter.
D
They both describe atoms as being made up of positive and negative matter.
8

Which have different numbers of electrons?

A
different ions of an element
B
different isotopes of an element
C
the nucleus of an element
D
each of the atoms of an element
9
