Just type this into google and give me the answer 4 me thomson's "plum pudding" model of the atom, and then explain how the results of rutherford's gold foil experiment resulted in a change to the atomic model.

Thomson's plum pudding model dictated that the atom contains negative charges surrounded by positive charges in close vicinity. Rutherford's experiment determined that the particles are not this close and the atom consists mainly of empty space and that it is the negative charge that surrounds the positive charge, not the other way around.

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.

Answer is to avoid experimental error
