Question

liv >3observations a conclusion of limitation
of Ruther forts model of atoms.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Observations of Rutherford’s Alpha Scattering Experiment

1 A major fraction of the α-particles bombarded towards the gold sheet passed through it without any deflection, and hence most of the space in an atom is empty.

2 Some of the α-particles were deflected by the gold sheet by very small angles, and hence the positive charge in an atom is not uniformly distributed. The positive charge in an atom is concentrated in a very small volume.

3 Very few of the α-particles were deflected back, that is only a few α-particles had nearly 180o angle of deflection. So the volume occupied by the positively charged particles in an atom is very small as compared to the total volume of an atom.

Listed below are the limitations of Rutherford’s experiment

1 Rutherford’s model was inadequate to explain the stability of an atom.

2 It did not mention anything about the arrangement of electron in the orbit.
