Section A
Answer all questions in this section.
0 1 This question is about atomic structure.
In the nineteenth century JJ Thomson discovered the electron. He suggested that
negative electrons were found throughout an atom like ‘plums in a pudding of positive
charge’.
Figure 1 shows an atom of element R using the ‘plum pudding’ model.
An atom of R contains seven electrons.
Figure 1
0 1 . 1 State two differences between the ‘plum pudding’ model and the model of atomic
structure used today.

0 2 This question is about sodium fluoride (NaF).
Some toothpastes contain sodium fluoride.
The concentration of sodium fluoride can be expressed in parts per million (ppm).
1 ppm represents a concentration of 1 mg in every 1 kg of toothpaste.
0 2 . 1 A 1.00 g sample of toothpaste was found to contain 2.88 x 10–5 mol of
sodium fluoride.
Calculate the concentration of sodium fluoride, in ppm, for the sample of toothpaste.
Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
