ANS: D REF: K/U OBJ: 1.6 LOC: MQ1.03 SHORT ANSWER 26. ANS: - Dalton s model was based on experimental evidence, while Democritus proposed his theory without experimentation 27. ANS: - matter consists of definite particles called atoms - each element is made up of its own type of atom - atoms of different elements have different properties - atoms of two or more elements can combine in constant ratios to form new substances - atoms cannot be created or destroyed or subdivided in a chemical change 28. ANS: - Rutherford s model had a positive core (nucleus), with negatively charged electrons around it occupying the remaining space - his model could not explain why the electrons did not spiral into the nucleus and cause the atom to collapse 29. ANS: - Rutherford observed that most of the alpha particles passed straight through the foil but some were deflected or reflected by the thin gold foil - he inferred that a small part of the atom, containing most of its mass, must have a dense positive charge to repel the positively charged alpha particle REF: K/U OBJ: 1.3 LOC: MQ1.01, MQ1.03 1
30. ANS: - the ball on the steps is restricted to specific levels; it cannot sit between steps - the ball can only possess fixed amounts (quanta) of energy, specific to each step REF: I OBJ: 1.6 LOC: MQ1.03 31. ANS: energy level 1 2 energy level 2 8 energy level 3 8 REF: K/U OBJ: 1.6 LOC: MQ1.03 32. ANS: - it was able to explain the line spectrum of hydrogen but no other elements - it was a breakthrough model in which electrons had quantized energy levels REF: I OBJ: 1.6 LOC: MQ1.03 2
