Question

explain Rutherford experiment ​

Answer 1

The Geiger–Marsden experiments were a landmark series of experiments by which scientists discovered that every atom contains a nucleus where all of its positive charge and most of its mass are concentrated. They deduced this by measuring how an alpha particle beam is scattered when it strikes a thin metal foil.

Answer 2

Principle of Rutherford’s experiment

By bombarding a very thin gold foil with alpha particles, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, both students of Rutherford, observed that a small fraction (1 in 8000) of these particles were deflected at large angle as if it bounced off a heavy obstacle. The impacts were observed as scintillation in the dark, under the microscope, on a screen of zinc sulphide. Rutherford concluded that the atom contained a heavy heart, with positive electric charge, able to push away the alpha,
