- 1. Multiple ChoiceIn the early 1900s many scientists thought that an atom consisted of a positive substance with negative charges scattered throughout the substance. Then Ernest Rutherford completed an experiment that changed the concept of an atom. His discovery led to the understanding that an atom consists mostly of empty with space with-Protons orbiting a dense nucleus made of electrons and neutronsElectrons orbiting a dense nucleus made of protons and neutronsNeutrons and protons orbiting a cloud of electronsElectrons and protons orbiting a cloud of neutrons
- 2. Multiple Choice
