  1. 1. (c) electronThe electron is negatively charged.
  2. 2. (b) nucleusThey are in the central nucleus.
  3. 3. (a) protonsAtomic number = number of protons.
  4. 4. (d) isotopesSame Z, different A ⇒ isotopes.
  5. 5. The neutron.
  6. 6. 2, 6.
  7. 7. Rutherford bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles. Most passed straight through, some deflected, and very few bounced back. This showed that most of the atom is empty space, that the positive charge and nearly all the mass are concentrated in a tiny central nucleus, and that electrons revolve around it.
