ANS: Rutherford s gold-foil experiment led to this hypothesis. Alpha particles were observed to mostly pass through a gold foil, which suggests that the volume of individual gold atoms consists mainly of empty space. The observation that some alpha particles were scattered at large angles led to the suggestion that the gold atom has a central core, or nucleus, composed of a concentrated mass capable of deflecting the alpha particles. PTS: 1 DIF: L3 REF: p. 107 OBJ: ANS: Alpha particles are helium nuclei; they have 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Alpha particles have relatively low energy and are the least penetrating of the three types of ionizing radiation. Beta particles are fast-moving electrons that are intermediate in energy and penetrating power. Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation in the form of high-energy photons. Alpha particle emission reduces the atomic number of a radioisotope by 2, and the atomic mass number by 4. Beta particle emission increases atomic number by 1 and does not change the atomic mass number. Gamma ray emission neither alters the atomic mass number nor the atomic number.
