Question

1. based on your observations from the simulation, draw at least ten alpha particle paths as observed during the simulation on the plum pudding model. 3) based on the plum pudding model, describe the movement of alpha particles through the atom. 2. simulation 2 analysis 1) based on your observations from the simulation, draw at least ten alpha particle paths as observed during the simulation on rutherfords actual results. 2) based on the plum pudding model, describe the movement of alpha particles through the atom. 3) what happened when the alpha particle collided with the center of the atom? in terms of charge of the alpha particle, what does that imply the charge of this center is? 4) if the outermost dotted line in the image above represents the very outside of the atom, what can be determined about the volume and location of all an atoms mass? 3 - class reflection 1. what actually happened

Explanation:

1. For drawing alpha - particle paths: Observe the simulation results and represent the trajectories of alpha - particles on the plum pudding model diagram.
2. For describing alpha - particle movement in the plum pudding model: In the plum pudding model, the positive charge and mass are evenly distributed. Alpha - particles would experience small deflections due to the weak electric field from the evenly - distributed positive charge.
3. When an alpha - particle collides with the center of the atom: Since alpha - particles are positively charged, if they are deflected or repelled, it implies that the center of the atom is positively charged.
4. Regarding the outermost dotted line: If it represents the outside of the atom, most of the atom's mass is concentrated in the center (nucleus in the modern model), and the volume occupied by the mass is much smaller than the overall volume of the atom.

Answer:

1. Draw the observed alpha - particle paths on the plum pudding model diagram.
2. Alpha - particles experience small deflections due to the evenly - distributed positive charge in the plum pudding model.
3. The center of the atom is positively charged as the positively - charged alpha - particle is deflected or repelled.
4. Most of the atom's mass is concentrated in a small volume at the center, and the overall volume of the atom is much larger than the volume occupied by the mass.
