(9) Which of the following postulates belongs to Rutherford's model but not Thomson's?

(1) The atom is a sphere of uniform positive electric charges.

(2) The atom contains negatively charged electrons.

(3) The atom contains a positively charged nucleus.

(4) The atom is electrically neutral.

(10) Which of the following observations shows the invalidity of the claim that the atom is solid,
as presumed by Thomson and Dalton?

(1) Deviation of some alpha particles upon collision with the gold foil.

(2) Penetration of a small fraction of alpha particles upon collision with the gold foil.

(3) Reflection of a small percentage of alpha particles upon collision with the gold foil.

(4) Appearance of flashes on the sensitive plate behind the gold foil after falling of alpha particles on
it.

Essay question:

 In cathode ray experiment, what happens when the platinum electrode (the cathode) is
replaced by an electrode of copper? Explain?

 The opposite figure shows Rutherford’s experiment. Which of alpha

particles (A, B or C) will flash at the same position before and after
placing the gold foil? Explain your answer

Give Reason for:

1- The cathode rays are termed by this term.

2-The metallic plate in Rutherford’s experiment is lined with ZnS.
3-The electron doesn’t fall into the nucleus despite the attraction between them.
