What scientist performed the cathode-ray tube experiment? What was discovered as a result?

• Thomson, electron

• Rutherford, nucleus

• Bohr, photon

• Heisenberg, neutron

What scientist performed the gold foil experiment? What was discovered as a result?

• Thomson, electron

• Rutherford, nucleus

• Bohr, photon

• Heisenberg, neutron

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle tells us that --

• it is impossible to know if the atom is the smallest particle

• it is impossible to know if electrons exist

• it is impossible to know the exact location of an electron

• It is impossible to know how many energy levels an atom has

What was the major change in the atomic model from Thomson to Rutherford?

• electrons were now in clouds, areas where they were most likely to be located

• the atom was now mostly empty space with a small nucleus

• electrons were now located in specific energy levels

• atoms now had negative particles called electrons
