Question

Explain Rutherford Model of Atom.

Answer 1

Rutherford overturned Thomson'smodel in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny and heavy nucleus. Rutherforddesigned an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.

_____________________________

Rutherford model of atom.

On the basis of his alpha-particle scattering experiment,
Rutherford stated that:

• There is a positively charged center in an atom. Nearly all of the mass of an atom resides in the nucleus.


• The electrons revolve around the nucleus in well defined circular orbits.


• The size of the nucleus is very small relative to the size of the atom.
_____________________________


DRAWBACKS:

• did not account for the stability of the atom.

• Did not explain why electrons do not lose energy and fall into nucleus.

• Did not explain the energy source of electrons to revolve around nucleus.
