    If you could upload it then I can make a mark scheme with some friends

    Plz explain, why electrons can be used to probe the nuclei of atoms

    What typical raw marks do we need to get for an A* grade in this? I can only find A grade boundaries

    If you fire a beam of electrons at atoms, you can get diffraction patterns which can be used to investigate the structure of atoms. So the electrons need a high momentum so they have a small enough wavelength to have a good amount of diffraction with the small gaps of atoms

    edit:
    a beam of electrons will act like a wave. the higher the momentum of the electrons, the shorter the wavelength  \lambda  = \frac{h}{\rho}
