Question

Explain Rutherford's Model.


​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rutherford's model shows that an atom is mostly empty space, with electrons orbiting a fixed, positively charged nucleus in set, predictable paths. This model of an atom was developed by Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand native working at the University of Manchester in England in the early 1900s.Rutherford's experiment showed that atoms consisted of a dense mass which was surrounded by mostly empty space - the nucleus! ... The conclusion that could be formed from this result was that atoms had an inner core which contained most of the mass of an atom and was positively charged.

Rutherford's model of an atom

• Rutherford proposed atomic model based on $\alpha$ - ray scattering experiment.

• A beam of $\alpha$ - particles are passed through a thin gold foil which is enclosed with flouroscent $ZnS$ screen capable of producing scintillations.

Observations and Conclusions

• Most of the $\alpha$ - particles pass through the atom indicating that most of the atom is empty.

• A small fraction of $\alpha$ - particles were deflected from its path which indicates that the positive charge is concentrated in the centre of the atom.

• A very few $\alpha$ - particles return back in their path indicating that the whole mass of the atom is concentrated at the centre of the atom also called "nucleus ".

• The radius of the atom is $10^-10\ m$ and that of the nucleus is $10^-15\ m.$

• The electrons revolve around the nucleus like planets that is why it is also called as planetary model.
