Differentiate between thomson and rutherford model of an atom
Answers
• According to his model the atom is consist of A positively charged sphere in which the electrons are embedded as the dry fruits are embedded in Christmas pudding.
• According to his model in an atom the negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude that is why the atom is electrically neutral.
While the model of Rutherford's model stated the Follows :
• According to his model most of the space inside the atom is empty.
• A very few particles what deflected back. They indicated that positive charge of the atom occupies very little space.
• According to his model the positive charge and mass of the atom is concentrated in a very small volume within the atom.
But both the models were unsatisfactory.
They both lack many important things.
The model of JJ Thomson was modified by E Rutherford and then his model was modified by Niels Bohr.
