1. how to find the correct number of neutrons:
Answer: mass number - atomic number
2. Forms of the same elements that differ in amount of neutrons:
Answer: isotopes
3. What particle, if lost from the nucleus, would NOT cause a change in the
atomic number?:
Answer: a neutron because it has no charge
4. When alpha particles were shot at a metal foil target, most passed through
without deflections, while others deflected at large angles. What did this sug-
gest to Rutherford?:
Answer: that the atoms of the metal were mostly empty space, while the nucleus consisted of most of the
mass which included highly condensed positive particles (which caused the deflection).
