Click on the correct answer



1 Which of the following is NOT part of Daton's Atomic Theory?
All elements are composed of atoms
Atoms of the same element are identical and atoms of different elemetns are different
Atoms are in constant motion
Chemical reactions occur when atoms are rearranged.

2 How many protons, electrons and neutron are there in an atom of silver (Ag)?
47 protons, 61 electrons, and 61 neutrons
61 protons, 61 electrons, and 47 neutrons
61 protons, 41 electrons, 47 neutrons
47 protons, 47 electrons, 47 neutrons
47 protons, 47 electrons, and 61 neutrons

3 What is the primary contribution made by J.J. Thomson toward our understanding of the atom?
He discovered electricity
He discovered the electron
He discovered the proton
He discovered the nucleus of the atom

4 Thomson proposed what model of the atom?
The Plum Pudding Model
The Planetary Model
The Quantized Model
The String Model

5 What was the significance of the Gold Foil Experiment performed by Rutherford?
It showed that gold atoms are radioactive
It showed that Gold foil can be used to freeze trout in and thus protect the flavor.
It showed that the electron is negatively charged
It showed that neutrons and protons are of about equal mass
It showed that the atom is mostly empty space and that the nucleus is very small, dense and located in the center of the atom and that the electron orbits the nucleus like the planets orbit the sun.

6 What was the significance of the Millikan Oil Drop experiment?
It showed that oil droplets could respond to electric current
It showed the actual charge on the electron.
It showed the density of oil droplets
It showed that protons were oppositely charged than electrons
It showed that electrons gave off energy

7 What are isotopes?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have a differing number of electrons
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have a differing number of neutrons.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have a differing number of protons
Isotopes are the same compound with a different arrangement of elements
Isotopes are found on a weather map

8 This is defined as exactly one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
an atomic gram
a carbon electron
An atomic mass unit
The nucleus of a carbon atom

9 Element X has two natural isotopes. The isotope with mass 10.012 amu has a relative abundance of 19.91%. The isotope with mass 11.009 has a relavtive abundance of 80.09%. Calculate the average atomic mass for this element.
10.810
11.005
10.008
9.610
21.000

10 The law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Use Dalton's atomic theory to explain this law.
Since all matter is composed of atoms, matter is always present
Dalton stated that all collisions atoms are perfectly elastic so no matter can be created or destroyed
One of Dalton's postulates is that in a chemical reaction atoms are rearranged not created or destroyed.
Since all atoms are alike, they can't be created or destroyed.
In a chemical reaction, protons are traded between atoms thus matter is conserved
