any six from:

  • alpha particles/helium nucleus fired at gold foil

  • Most passed through the gold foil

  • So most of the atom is empty space

  • a small number bounced back

  • so must have collided with something/mass/nucleus

  • a small number passed through but were deflected/changed direction

  • positively-charged alpha particles passed near positively charged nucleus and were repelled

fractional distillation

do not accept distillation or simple distillation

4.1.1.2

02.2

mixture is heated

both liquids will give off vapours before their boiling point

vapours enter fractionating column (with glass beads)

water will condense on glass beads as it has a higher boiling point (than isopropanol)

isopropanol will continue to rise and pass into condenser

will then condense and can be collected in separate vessel

4.1.1.2

03.1

similarities:

  • both suggest that atoms are spherical

  • both suggest different elements have different atoms of different masses

differences:

  • earlier model states that atoms cannot be divided

  • plum pudding suggests that negative electrons are embedded in a ball of positive charge

Level 3: A detailed and coherent explanation is given. All three observations of the experimental evidence are explained.

5–6

AO1

4.1.1.3

Level 2: A coherent explanation is given, but not all observations are linked to aspects of the model.

3–4

Level 1: Some correct points are made. At least tone observation is given and linked to aspects of the model.

Indicative content

  • positively-charged alpha particles fired at gold foil

  • most alpha particles travelled straight through the foil

  • suggesting most of the atom is empty space

  • a small number of alpha particles bounced back

  • suggesting mass of the atom was concentrated in the centre of the atom

  • a small number of alpha particles were deflected

  • suggested the central mass had positive charge

  • the positively-charged nucleus repelled positive alpha particles, causing the deflection

allow answer in terms of plum pudding model, for example, alpha particles would not have passed through if plum pudding model is correct etc.

in both atoms, the electrons are arranged in shells/energy levels

in both atoms, there are three shells/energy levels

in both atoms, the shell/energy level nearest the nucleus has two electrons/is full

in both atoms, the shell/energy level second from the nucleus has eight electrons/is full

in sodium, the outer shell/energy level has one electron only and is not full

in argon, the outer shell/energy level has eight electrons and is full
