answer: it is possible to remove neg. charged particles plum pudding model

What did J.J. Thomson discover about the atom? What atomic

model did he propose based on his evidence?

Answer: it is possible to remove neg. charged particles

Plum Pudding model

What did Niels Bohr discover about the atom? What atomic model did he propose based on his evidence?

Answer: It’s easy to pluck electrons from an atom the further away they

are. Solar system model

What did Ernest Rutherford discover about the atom? What atomic

model did he propose based on his evidence?

Answer: Tiny particles shot at atom bounced back, most went through.

Nuclear model

For electrons, protons and neutrons – write down the charge on each

particle, the mass of each particle, and where they are found in the

atom.Electron = neg. charge found outside

nucleus, almost zero massProtons = pos. charge, in nucleus, 1 amuNeutron = no charge, in nucleus, 1 amu

Why is the total charge on every atom always zero?

Answer: Protons and electrons cancel each other out
