Identify in the graphic below which pieces you think are atoms and which you
think are bonds. - Answer: Bond
What was JJ Thomson's biggest difference from Democritus' model? - Answer:
Atoms could be broken down into smaller pieces
Which scenario below do you think is most likely for this experiment's results?
Make a hypothesis. - Answer: any answer
Why did this surprise Rutherford? - Answer: Thomson's model of the atom had a
diffuse positive charge, so the particles should not have been deflected very far
How was Rutherford's model different from his mentor, Thomson's? - Answer:
Rutherford's model had a small, dense, positive nucleus

that apply: - Answer: Distinct energy levels for electrons
Distinct orbits for electrons
