Question

Discuss only an experimental setup of Geiger-Marsden experiment for α-scattering

Answer 1

Explanation:

At Rutherford's behest, Geiger and Marsden performed a series of experiments where they pointed a beam of alpha particles at a thin foil of metal and measured the scattering pattern by using a fluorescent screen. They spotted alpha particles bouncing off the metal foil in all directions, some right back at the source.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Geiger and Marsden conducted a sequence of tests at Rutherford's behest, pointing at a thin foil of metal a beam of alpha particles and measuring the scattering pattern using a fluorescent screen. They found alpha particles in all directions bouncing off the metal foil, some at the source.

Thus, it was observed that most of the alpha particles were passing through the gold foil with no deflection at all and most of the atom was empty space. So, the model placed the electrons at a little distance from the nucleus.
