INTRODUCTION 
This Powerpoint show is one of several produced to help students 
understand selected GCSE Chemistry topics. It is based on the requirements 
of the AQA specification but is suitable for other examination boards. 
Individual students may use the material at home for revision purposes and 
it can also prove useful for classroom teaching with an interactive white 
board. 
Accompanying notes on this, and the full range of AS and A2 Chemistry 
topics, are available from the KNOCKHARDY SCIENCE WEBSITE at... 
www.knockhardy.org.uk/gcse.htm

THE SSTTRRUUCCTTUURREE OOFF AATTOOMMSS 
Atoms have a small central nucleus, which is 
made up of protons and neutrons. 
Around the nucleus are the electrons. 
Because electrons weigh very much less than 
protons and neutrons, most of the mass of an 
atom is concentrated in its nucleus.

RUTHERFORD’S EXPERIMENT 
Many scientists thought atoms were solid like a ‘plum pudding’. 
Ernest Rutherford wanted to find out what atoms were like.

Many scientists thought atoms were solid like a ‘plum pudding’. 
Ernest Rutherford wanted to find out what atoms were like. 
He fired positively charged ALPHA PARTICLES (helium nuclei) at a 
very thin sheet of gold and detected what happened to their path.
