Democritus was the first to propose the idea of the atom. He said the atom was just this tiny, solid sphere. However, he used no scientific evidence to support his claim, so a guy named John Dalton did some experimenting and basically backed up Democritus' claim with evidence. Then, a guy named J.J. Thompson came along and said the atom was not solid and that is consisted of tiny negatively charged particles(electrons) and he came up with the Plum Pudding model which is just a tiny sphere with a punch of random scattered dots in it. After that, Ernest Rutherford did experiments and found that the tiny sphere is made up of mostly empty space with a tiny, dense, positively charged sphere inside of it, and the negatively charged particles just randomly float around it. Neils Bohr then said that the electrons take specific, circular, evenly spaced paths. Then, finally, we come to the Quantum Mechanical Model which is the one accepted today. This model basically vetos Bohr's idea and has a nucleus inside of an electron cloud, which is where the electrons are found.
B: The total thermal energy is greater in a large body of water than one much smaller
Explanation:
A large lake filled filled with cool water will have more thermal energy than smaller pond filled with warmer water because the total thermal energy is greater in a large body of water than one that is much smaller.
Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy usually due to transfer of heat energy.
Amount of heat energy is dependent on the differences in temperature, mass and specific heat capacity of a body.
Both lake water will have the same specific heat capacity. Since larger body of water has more mass, it will possess more thermal energy.

A. Gamma radiation because it reaches further than beta and alpha rays
The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
