Question

- Rutherford's Alpha-ray scattering experiment was
conducted in order to test the validity of Thomson's
model. What results were expected from this
experiment?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Rutherford's Alpha ray scattering experiment  is also known as Rutherford's gold foil experiment or Geiger Marsden alpha scattering experiment.

This is the experiment which led Rutherford to conclude that an atom is mostly empty and understand the concept of nucleus.

Its outcome discarded the Thomson model of atom.

Answer 2

Answer:

The result of this experiment were not in sync with the plum-pudding model of the atom as suggested by Thomson. Rutherford concluded that since alpha particles are positively charged, for them to be deflected back, they needed a large repelling force.
