When Rutherford ran his gold foil experiment, he expected to see results like those in the Plum Pudding Atom simulation. Instead, his experimental results were closer to those seen in the Rutherford Atom simulation. Why can’t the plum pudding model of the atom explain Rutherford’s experimental results?

A. Since some alpha particles were deflected, the atom must contain a small region with a strong electric charge.

B. Since most of the alpha particles were not deflected, the atom’s positive charges must be spread thinly across a large region.

C. Since some of the alpha particles were deflected, the atom’s negative charges must not be attracted to the alpha particles.

D. Since most of the alpha particles were not deflected, the atom’s negative charges must exist in a thin cloud around the atom.

The atomic radius of sodium is 186 pm and of chlorine is 100 pm. the ionic radius for na+ is 102 pm and for cl– is 181 pm. in going from na to cl in period 3, why does the atomic radius decrease while the ionic radius increases? a. the inner electrons in the sodium cation shield its valence electrons more effectively than the inner electrons in the chloride anion do. b. the inner electrons shield the valence electrons more effectively in the chlorine atom than in the chloride anion. c. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a smaller effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. d. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a larger effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. e. monatomic ions are bigger than the atoms from which they are formed.
