Rutherford EXPECTED this to happen when he shot alpha particles (+) through gold foil.

What is he expected most of them to bounce back off the foil? (Since the atom was believed to be mostly a positive "dough" - plum pudding model)

Rutherford's experiment revealed that most of the alpha particles (+) passed right through the foil. A small minority of particles experienced massive deflections. He concluded this about the structure of the atom.

Which is that atoms are mostly empty space with a dense positive core?

Element X has three isotopes:

  • X‑10: mass = 10.0129 amu, 19.5%
  • X‑11: mass = 11.0093 amu, abundance = ?
  • X‑12: mass = 12.0144 amu, 32.1%

The average atomic mass of Element X is 11.32 amu.
Determine the missing percent abundance of X‑11.

Explain Thomson's experimental findings and his conclusions.

Which are that cathode rays are deflected in the presence of a magnetic (charged) field, and therefore, the particles that make up cathode rays must be charged particles as well?

(He also calculated the mass of these particles, i.e. electrons.)
