Yes because it can be tested and answered though observations and experiments - Answers
Consider the question: Is there an attractive force between a pencil and the earth?
Is this a scientific question? [Yes or No]
Because
III. It can be tested and answered through observations and experiments
IV. The answer is already known and we find it online
V. There is no way to design an experiment to answer this question.
Atoms are mostly empty space
Atoms are in constant motion - Answers Which of the following properties ascribed to atoms by
the Greeks do we still consider valid?
I. Atoms are mostly empty space
II. The size and shape of the atoms determine a material's properties
III. Atoms are indivisible
IV. Atoms are in constant motion
The cathode ray tube experiment
The beam of particles emitted from the cathode bent toward the positively charged plate. -
Answers Electrons are negatively charged. Which experiment provided evidence to support this
claim? What is the specific evidence used to support this claim?
Experiment:
I. The gold foil experiment
II. The cathode ray tube experiment
Evidence:
III. Most of the positively charged alpha particles shot at a thin gold foil passed straight through.
IV. A small fraction of the positively charged alpha particles shot at a thin gold foil were
deflected.
V. The beam of particles emitted from the cathode bent toward the positively charged plate.
, VI. The beam of particles emitted from the cathode behaved the same no matter what type of
metal the cathode was made of.
All of the above - Answers Which of the following contain(s) atoms?
a. Heat
b. Light
c. Energy
d. Dust
e. All of the above
III because the alpha particles go straight through the atom because it is mostly empty space. -
Answers The diagram below shows alpha particles being fired at a piece of gold foil. Where will
the majority of the alpha particles be detected (point I, II, or III) and why?
IV. Alpha particles bounce off the nuclei within the gold atoms because the nuclei are much
more massive than the alpha particles.
V. The alpha particles are repelled when they come close to the nuclei because both are
charged.
VI. The alpha particles go straight through the atom because it is mostly empty space.
All atoms are indivisible and indestructable - Answers Thomson's cathode ray tube experiment
proved FALSE what part of Dalton's atomic theory?
a. All atoms are indivisible and indestructible
b. All atoms of a given element are identical
c. All matter is made of atoms.
d. Compounds are formed from the combination of two or more elements.
e. Chemical reactions are rearranging of atoms
The electrostatic force would become stronger - Answers How would the strength of the
electrostatic force change if the distance between the two charged objects decreased?
a. The electrostatic force would become stronger
b. The electrostatic force would become weaker
c. The electrostatic force would become stronger or weaker depending on whether the force is
attractive or repulsive.
