5.
Which of the following statements about Rutherford's experiment is false?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
Alpha particles were used as they are positive.
The particles were fired at a piece of aluminum foil.
Most of the particles passed through the foil, indicating that most of the atoms were empty space.
A very few particles bounced back, indicating the presence of a small, massive, positive nucleus.
The experiment led to the discarding of the "plum-pudding" model of the atom (otherwise known as the "chocolate chip cookie
model").
6.
Under the modern atomic theory, which of the following statements is false?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
Atoms contain the same number of protons and electrons.
The mass of an atom in amu is approximated as the number of photons plus the number of neutrons present in the nucleus.
Atoms can be split into a nucleus and the electrons, and the electrons move around the nucleus.
Different isotopes of an element contain different numbers of neutrons.
The three primary sub-atomic particles all have different charges.
7.
Which statement is true?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
The elements may be broadly classified as metals, non-metals and noble gases.
Elements in a row in the periodic table have similar chemical properties.
In the periodic table that we use, the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
Rutherford's scattering experiment proved that all atoms contain electrons.
Experiments using the Cathode Ray Tube proved that all atoms contain electrons.
