Which particle in an atom's nucleus has a positive charge?

Photon

Neutron

Electron

Proton

Which subatomic particle contributes to the mass of the atom but has no charge?

Nucleus

Electron

Proton

Neutron

Match the scientist with their contribution to atomic theory

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Bohr		Alpha particle scattering experiment
Democritus		Discovered the electron
J.J. Thomson		Energy levels of electrons

What happens when an electron goes from high to low energy?

It forms a new atom

It releases light

It multiplies

It disappears

What determines the color of light an atom emits?

The size of the atom

The weight of the atom

The energy level shift of its electron

The shape of the atom

What occurs when an electron moves to a higher energy level?

It absorbs energy

It becomes a proton

It gives off light

It changes the atom's color

Heated gaseous atoms of elements emit light in unique colored patterns as electrons drop from excited energy states to ground energy states. Heated hydrogen atoms have only four colored lines: red, green, blue, and violet. What prediction did Niels Bohr make about electrons based on this information?

Electrons are negatively-charged atomic particles.

Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels.

Electrons can be found in cloud-like regions.

Electrons are responsible for atomic interactions.

An electron in an atom can gain energy by being heated and move to a higher energy orbital. When the electron returns to its ground state the energy is released as–

light

heat

electricity

sound
