describe the theory of atom given by E. Rutherford
Answers
Answer:
Rutherford model, also called Rutherford atomic model, nuclear atom, or planetary model of the atom, description of the structure of atoms proposed (1911) by the New Zealand-born physicist Ernest Rutherford. The model described the atom as a tiny, dense, positively charged core called a nucleus, in which nearly all the mass is concentrated, around which the light, negative constituents, called electrons, circulate at some distance, much like planets revolving around the Sun.

Answer:
E. Rutherford (1871‐1937) was born at Spring Grove on 30 August 1871 . He was known as the 'Father' of nuclear physics . He is famous for his work on radioactivity and the discovery of the nucleus of an atom with the gold foil experiment . He got the Nobel prize in chemistry in 1908.
The basic theory of atom given by E Ruthetford is
i) There is a positively charged centre in an atom called the nucleus . Nearly all the mass of an atom resides in the nucleus.
ii) The electrons revolve around the nucleus in a circular paths.
iii) the size of the nucleus is very small as compared to the size of the atom
