Scientists have changed the model of the atom as they have gathered new evidence. One of the atomic models
is shown below.
What experimental evidence led to the development of
this atomic model from the one before it?
O A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil
seemed to bounce back.
O The colors of light emitted from heated atoms had
very specific energies.
O Experiments with water vapor showed that elements
combine in specific proportions.
O Cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a
magnet was brought near them.

4. now look at the green lines you created by connecting the three boiling point data points and the three melting point data points. for each of these lines, describe any trends you see. 5. locate the elements on your periodic table that you circled in green on your graph. what term or description would you use to identify these elements with respect to the periodic table? 7. using the room temperature line (orange line) and your periodic table, make lists that identify the state of matter (gas, liquid, or solid) in which each element you plotted exists at room temperature. explain your answers.
