The effective nuclear charge for a valence electron, Zeff, can be approximated as the core charge of the atom. The core charge of an atom is equal to the net charge of the nucleus and the inner (nonvalence) electrons. Determine the core charge for an oxygen atom and use it as an approximation for the effective nuclear charge. Zeff = 6 Use Slater's rules to determine the effective nuclear charge for an oxygen atom. Zeff = 3.30 Incorrect

One of the best indications of a useful theory is that it raises more questions for further experimentation than it originally answered. Does this apply to Daltons atomic theory? Give examples.
A chemistry instructor makes the following claim: Consider that if the nucleus were the size of a grape, the electrons would be about 1 mile away on average. Is this claim reasonably accurate? Provide mathematical support.
How does Daltons atomic theory account for the Law of Conservation of Mass?
What is meant by anuclear atom? Describe the points of Ruth erford’s model for the nuclear atom and how he tested this model. Based on his experiments, how did Rutherford envision the structure of the atom? How did Rutherford’s model of the atom’s structure differ from Kelvin’s “plum pudding” model?
Predict and test the behavior of a particles fired at a Rutherford atom model. Predict the paths taken by a particles that are fired at atoms with a Rutherford atom model structure. Explain why you expect the particles to take these paths. If a particles of higher energy than those in (a) are fired at Rutherford atoms, predict how their paths will differ from the lower-energy a particle paths. Explain your reasoning. Predict how the paths taken by the particles will differ if they are fired at Rutherford atoms of elements other than gold. What factor do you expect to cause this difference in paths, and why? Now test your predictions from (a), (b), and (c). Open the Rutherford Scattering simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/I/16PhetScatter) and select the Rutherford Atom tab. Due to the scale of the simulation, it is best to start with a small nucleus, so select 20 for both protons and neutrons, mm for energy, show traces, and then start firing a particles. Does this match your prediction from (a)? If not, explain why the actual path would be that shown in the simulation. Pause or reset, set energy to max, and start firing a particles. Does this match your prediction from (b)? If not, explain the effect of increased energy on the actual path as shown in the simulation. Pause or reset, select 40 for both protons and neutrons, mm for energy, show traces, and fire away. Does this match your prediction from (c)? If not, explain why the actual path would be that shown in the simulation. Repeat this with larger numbers of protons and neutrons. What generalization can you make regarding the type of atom and effect on the path of a particles? Be clear and specific.
