Question 15 of 20

15. Question

In 1909, many physicists hypothesized that particles within atoms were evenly spaced throughout, much like chocolate chips in a cookie. In their view, these particles were very light and would allow radiation to simply pass through. That year, scientists tested this theory by passing intense radiation through thin gold foil. To scientists’ surprise, some radiation particles bounced back, meaning they had hit something very dense and strong.

The observations scientists made in 1909 suggested the existence of which of the following atomic structures?

Neutrons
