Question

Expain Ruthefood's Alpa particle scattering experiment give its observation ​

Answer 1

ruthersford alpha particle experinent was based on gold foil he observrd some of the particles undeviated from their path some of the paricles go straight and some of the partickes has made small angles plz mark me as brainliest

Answer 2

Rutherford's alpha particle scattering experiment changed the way we think of atoms.

Before the experiment the best model of the atom was known as the Thomson or "plum pudding" model. The atom was believed to consist of a positive material "pudding" with negative "plums" distributed throughout.

Rutherford directed beams of alpha particles (which are the nuclei of helium atoms and hence positively charged) at thin gold foil to test this model and noted how the alpha particles scattered from the foil.

Rutherford made 3 observations:

• Most of the fast, highly charged alpha particles went whizzing straight through undeflected. This was the expected result for all of the particles if the plum pudding model was correct.

• Some of the alpha particles were deflected back through large angles. This was not expected.

• A very small number of alpha particles were deflected backwards! This was definitely not as expected. Rutherford later remarked "It was as incredible as if you fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back at you!"
