13. A sheet of boron-10 atoms is bombarded with a stream of alpha particles.
14. A bismuth-210 nucleus decays, giving off a single neutron.
15. A zinc-69 nucleus stabilizes itself by going through beta decay.
16. In Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment, he shot a stream of alpha particles at the sample of
gold foil. Most of the particles went straight through the foil, leading him to believe that
atoms were mostly empty space, but a few of them were deflected by something in the
foil. What other conclusion could be made based on this observation?
