TEST

This document contains short answer questions about the structure of the atom, including questions about protons, neutrons, isotopes, atomic number, mass number, electron shells, nuclear reactions, radioactive decay, and more. Some key points covered are that Rutherford's experiment proved the atom has a small, dense nucleus, isotopes are atoms of the same element with different mass numbers, and nuclear fusion and fission involve changing the nucleus of an atom.
