Answer: atomic number

9. Which incorrect aspect of Rutherford’s model was fixed by Bohr’s model?

Answer: Electrons move freely in curved paths around the nucleus.

10. You plan to pass alpha particles through a field that contains a consistent type of particle. Which configuration will result in the largest deflection of alpha particles?

Answer: low-energy alpha particles passing through a field of high mass-number-particles

11. Where on the periodic table do you find elements that have full valence electron shells?

Answer: on the right side of the periodic table

12. Which element would have a full outer shell of electrons if it gained three electrons?

Answer: nitrogen

Answer: fluorine, chlorine, and iodine

14. Why are the noble gases the least reactive elements?

Answer: They have a full valence electron shell.

15. Group 2 elements have two valence electrons. Which kind of bond will they most likely form, and why?

Answer: An ionic bond is likely because they will want to give away two valence electrons in order to become stable.
