    Answer Key of worksheet # 1

    Democritus Proposes the Atom


    1. The word atom comes from a Greek word that means indivisible

    2. Which of the following statements is part of Democritus’s theory about atoms?


    a. Atoms are the smallest piece of matter.

    3. We know that Democritus was right about atoms. So why did people ignore
    Democritus’s ideas for such a long time?
    Democritus’s ideas were ignored for a long time because he had no proof of the
    atoms existence.

    Dalton Creates an Atomic Theory Based on Experiments


    4. By conducting experiments and making observations, Dalton figured out that
    elements combine in random proportions because they’re made of individual
    atoms. False

    5. Dalton’s theory states that atoms cannot be changed, created, or destroyed.

    6. Atoms of different elements are exactly alike. False

    7. How did Dalton think atoms formed new substances?


    Atoms can be separated, rearranged and combined to form new substances.

    Thomson Finds Electrons in the Atom


    Mark the following statements True or False.
    8. In 1897, J. J. Thomson made a discovery that proved the first part of Dalton’s
    atomic theory was correct. True

    9. Thomson discovered that there were small particles inside the atom. True

    10. Thomson found that the electrically charged plates affected the direction of a
    cathode-ray tube beam. True

    11. Thomson knew the beam was made of particles with a positive charge because
    it was pulled toward a positive charge. False

    12. When you rub a balloon on your hair, your hair is attracted to the balloon
    because both the hair and the balloon have become electrically charged. True

    13. The two types of charges are positive and neutral. False

    14. Objects with the same charges attract each other. False

    Circle the correct answer.


    15. In Thomson’s “plum-pudding” model, electrons are NOT
    c. collected together in the center of the atom.

    Rutherford Opens an Atomic


    16. Before his experiment, Rutherford expected the particles to deflect to the sides
    of the gold foil. False

    17. Which of the following statements is NOT part of Rutherford’s revision of his
    former teacher’s atomic theory?
    c. Lightweight, negative electrons move in the nucleus.
    d. The diameter of the nucleus of an atom is 10 times smaller than the
    diameter of the atom.

    Bohr States That Electrons Can Jump Between Levels


    18. In Bohr’s atomic model, electrons travel in definite paths around the nucleus
    at specific levels. Each level is a certain distance from the nucleus. Electrons
    cannot travel between levels, but they can jump from level to level.

    The Modern Theory: Electron Clouds Surround the Nucleus


    19. The exact path of a moving electron can now be predicted.
    True

    20. What are electron clouds?


    Electron clouds are the regions in which electrons with certain amounts of energy
    are most likely to be located.
