The pathway followed by the α particles was tracked using a fluorescent zinc-sulfide screen. An α particle was known at this time to be positively charged.

True or false: A substance can undergo a change of state without changing its identity.

True

Why must a measurement be expressed with the appropriate unit? Without units, a measurement is meaningless. Units allow us to determine whether a measurement is quantitative or qualitative. Without units, the number of significant figures cannot be determined.

Without units, a measurement is meaningless.

Which of the following statements correctly describe how to determine if a zero in a reported number is significant? Select all that apply.

Rutherford conducted a famous experiment in which α particles were fired at a piece of gold foil. A few α particles were reflected by the foil, leading Rutherford to the conclusion that the atom contains a small, very dense region in which most of the atom's _________ is concentrated. He called this central region the __________ of the atom.

mass, nucleus

Which statement correctly describes the quantum number n with reference to the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom? Select all that apply. n can have any positive, whole-number value greater than or equal to 1. n indicates the energy level of an electron in the atom. An electron with n = 2 is at higher energy than an electron with n = 1. The higher the value of n, the closer the electron is to the center of the atom. n is a measure of the difference in energy between two energy levels.
