The Essay on Mass Society Theories, Social Responsibilty Theory and the Media
The first half of the twentieth century played a vital role in the state of the present media. The century commenced with the influx of new forms of media as modernization uncontrollably invaded all social forms. The dominant medium of the nineteenth century, the newspaper, sustained its power at the beginning of the century. Moving pictures, or film, was born and started to form its own cult of ...

Base your answers to questions 25 on the data table below, which shows three isotopes of neon.
25 In terms of atomic particles, state one difference between these three isotopes of neon. [1] They have different number of neutrons
26 Describe, in terms of subatomic particles found in the nucleus, one difference between the nuclei of carbon-12 atoms and the nuclei of carbon-13 atoms. The response must include both isotopes. [1] Carbon-13 has one more neutron than Carbon-12
27 In the early 1900s, experiments were conducted to determine the structure of the atom. One of these experiments involved bombarding gold foil with alpha particles. Most alpha particles passed directly through the foil. Some, however, were deflected at various angles. Based on this alpha particle experiment, state two conclusions that were made concerning the structure of an atom. [2]
Nucleus is small
Nucleus is positively charged
