Name __________________

Date ___________________

1.

Dalton theorized that atoms are indivisible, but the discovery of

_______________ particles changed this theory. Scientists now know that atoms are made up of electrons, which have a _____________ charge; _____________, which have a positive charge; and _____________, which are neutral. The latter two particles are found in the ______________ of the atom.
