Today we tackle one of the most important topics in the scientific field of chemistry – the atom! What do you know about the smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter, how it came to be discovered and what makes it up? Take the quiz and we’ll find out! Good luck!
By looking at them under a microscope
By running experiments that expose their properties
By examining only the largest atoms
By splitting them apart
New information about atoms continues to be discovered
Old information about atoms is completely useless
Scientists did not have any information about atoms until a few years ago
Scientists still have no idea what atoms look like
He discovered that every atom was positively charged
He discovered that every element consisted of one type of atom
He discovered that atoms had nuclei
He discovered that atoms could be divided into smaller parts

Electrons and neutrons
Protons and neutrons
Neutrinos and positrons
DNA and RNA
They are more massive than protons and electrons
They have no electrical charge
They are less massive than protons and electrons
Protons and electrons exist in atomic nuclei; neutrons orbit the nucleus in a “cloud”
In groups of five
In energy levels
By color
By shape
