Question

explain rutherford atomic model please​

Answer 1

Rutherford’s Experiment: Thomson’s student, Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using gold foil which disproved Thomson’s model. To study the structure of atom, Rutherford performed a thin gold foil scattering experiment. For his experiments Rutherford used a gold foil. He made a narrow beam of alpha particles to fall on the gold foil. Observations made from the alpha ray scattering experiment • Most of the alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil without getting deflected. • A small fraction of the alpha particles were deflected through small angles. • A few alpha particles bounced back. Based on his observations, Rutherford proposed the nuclear model of an atom.
