10.) In the above experiment, which of the following statements is TRUE.
a. J.J. Thompson proposed a model for the atom which became known as the Raisin Pudding Model, in which the electrons were a jelly-like smeared-out blob interspersed with positively charged "raisins".
b. When Marsden joined the research group, Rutherford had him and Geiger place the screen at positions A,B, F, & G, and to their surprise the experimental evidence did not support the Raison Pudding model because a number of particles were reflected onto those targets.
c. The source in this experiment produced electromagnetic waves which were used by aiming them to strike and probe the nuclear structure of the target.
d. The new "planetary" model proposed by Rutherford consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons in which the relative sizes could be described as follows: if the nucleus was a ping pong ball the electron's orbits would be the size of a tennis ball.
e. Marsden, Rutherford's graduate student, proposed an interpretation of the experimental results in which he described the many reflected alpha particles as small pieces of lead shot being bounced off a brick wall, i.e. the atom consisted mostly of a hard sphere of electrons.

e. 1.428 seconds
12.) We say that a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is used to look at atoms. In fact, an STM actually looks at ____________ due to the fact that _______________ .
a. positions of the atom’s nucleus, gamma rays flow into the STM tip
b. positions of the atom’s nucleus, neutrons turn into protons and emit electrons which jump to the STM tip.
c. positions of the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus, electrons from the surface jump to the STM tip when it is close enough
d. positions of the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus, the STM tip drags along the surface sensing the nucleus
e. positions of the outer electrons, these electrons are tightly bound to the nucleus
