Question

explain Rutherford's model of atom​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Rutherford atomic model was correct in that the atom is mostly empty space. Most of the mass is in the nucleus, and the nucleus is positively charged. Far from the nucleus are the negatively charged electrons. But the Rutherford atomic model used classical physics and not quantum mechanics

Answer 2

Answer:

Rutherford's atomic model resembled the model of a pudding .

He stated that the atom consists of a positively charged nucleus in the centre that consists of protons and neutrons.

And the electrons are scattered around the nucleus in fixed paths called orbit.

this structure of atom resembled the pudding as the nuts and fruits scattered around everywhere in the pudding.

He said that atom has a lot of empty space in it.
