Which of the following observations indicates that an atom has neutrons?
A. Some uncharged particles are scattered by a beryllium atom when it hits a gold foil.
B. Some uncharged particles bounce back from a gold foil when it is bombarded with alpha particles.
C. A radiation with neutral particles is emitted when alpha particles strike beryllium atoms.
D. A radiation which attracts electrons is produced when a beryllium atom is bombarded with alpha particles.

Respuesta :

C

When the alpha particle hits the beryllium atoms at high speeds, it splits the atomic nuclei hence causing the nuclei particles flying. When exposed to an electric field, the path of the proton is curved towards the negative pole while neutrons are unaffected.  

Explanation:

Neutrons are found in the dense part of atoms (the nucleus) along with protons. Unlike protons, however, that are positively charged, neutrons are uncharged particles. Neutrons are important in the stability of the atomic nuclei because they ensure that the positively charged particles (protons), which are cramped together in a tight space, do not repel each other because like-charges repel.
