In Rutherford's alpha-particle scattering experiment: (a) How did he interpret the observation that only a very few of the \(\alpha\) particles were scattered by the gold foil and most of them went straight through? (b) What was wrong with his model of the atom as far as the physics of the day was concerned?

For each pair, indicate which atom loses an electron more easily: (a) \(\mathrm{Na}\) or \(\mathrm{K}\) (b) Na or Al (c) \(\mathrm{Rb}\) or \(\mathrm{Ca}\) (d) \(\mathrm{S}\) or \(\mathrm{Cl}\) (e) Br or Kr
