Question

Describe Ernest Rutherford's experiment with alpha particles and gold foil. How did this lead to the discovery of the nucleus?

Answer 1

✨⭐✌Here is the answer✌⭐✨

✨⭐Physicist Ernest Rutherford established the nuclear theory of the atom with his gold-foil experiment. When he shot a beam of alpha particles at a sheet of gold foil, a few of the particles were deflected. He concluded that a tiny, dense nucleus was causing the deflections.⭐✨

✨⭐✌hope it helps✌⭐✨

Answer 2

____________________


$\sf{\underline{In\:Rutherford's\:experiment:}}$


⚫A beam of alpha particles were directed onto a thin sheet of gold and a zinc sulphide screen at the focus of the microwave was used as a detector.


⚫As most of the rays continued non-deflected,


$\sf{\underline{It\:was\:concluded\:by\:Rutherford\:that:}}$


⚫The remaining part of the atom had very low density and thus the idea of a nucleus was developed.
