B.
1. In 1909, a team of British scientists led by Ernest Rutherford, carried out the Gold Foil Experiment to
determine the arrangement of particles in the atom. In this experiment, alpha particles were used to
bombard gold foil. Most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil undeflected. What conclusion
was made about the structure of the atom based on this observation? (2.5pts)

 Based on the observation that most of the atom's volume is empty space, it was determined that
the atom is structurally simple.

2. A few of the alpha particles were deflected back at the source and toward the screen. What did this
observation reveal about the structure of the atom? (2.5pts)

 The fact that most of alpha particles passed straight through the foil is proof that the atom is
primarily made up of empty space. It was determined that there is a buildup of positive charge in
the atom based on the small number of alpha particles that were deflected at large angles.

3. An element has two isotopes. 90% of the isotopes have a mass number of 20 amu, while 10% have
a mass number of 22 amu. Calculate the atomic mass of the element. Show all work with units. (5 pts.)

Convert 90% and 10% to decimal = .90 and .10

(20 amu x .90) + (22 amu x .10)

18 + 2.2 = 20.2 amu
