Ernest Rutherford contributed to the atomic theory by discovering that the atom is mostly empty space.
He can to that conclusion because he fired alpha particles at gold foil, which was so thin that it was only around .00004 cm thick, and while almost all shot straight through, some actually bounced back!
He likened it to shooting a 15-inch round(bullet) at tissue paper, only to have it bounce right back at you! Based on this, he theorized that the atom is mostly empty, which is why a majority of the particles passed right through, but in the very center of the atom there is a super-dense structure called a nucleus that held a majority of the atom's mass. This super-dense mass would be more than massive enough to deflect the particle, should they collide.
The reason we joined in world war one was due to the germans sinking merchant ships that had US citizens on them and they were also sinking some of our own ships. Due to that President Wilson involved us in the war.

Answer 5.
- He thought that the 13 colonies would make more progress and would be wealthier if they were independent from England, because the enemies the colonies were facing and stopped them from trading were enemies of England and not theirs. <em>If the colonies were independent they would be able to trade with countries like Spain and France.</em>
Answer 6.
