Question 11
H

Experiments by J. J. Thomson showed that electrons have a negative charge.

They also showed that the mass of an electron is about 1/2000 of the mass of a hydrogen atom.

Atoms have no overall charge.

Which conclusion can be made from this evidence alone?

[1]
A

Most of the atom must be empty space with a nucleus at its centre.

B

A hydrogen atom must be made of about 2000 electrons joined together.

C

The electrons in an atom must be arranged in shells around the nucleus.

D

Most of the mass of an atom must be in the part that is not electrons.
