Question

What are the observations and inference of rutherford's atomic model?

Answer 1

Heya Mate!!

Here is your answer!!

Answer!!

The observations made by Rutherford led him to conclude that:

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.

Answer 2

hi mate here is your answer
Major space in an atom is empty – A large fraction of α-particles passed through the gold sheet without getting deflected. Therefore, the major part of an atom must be empty.
The positive charge in an atom is not distributed uniformly and it is concentrated in a very small volume – Few α-particles when bombarded were deflected by the gold sheet. They were deflected minutely and at very small angles. Therefore he made the above conclusion.
Very few α-particles had deflected at large angles or deflected back. Moreover, very few particles had deflected at 180o. Therefore, he concluded that the positively charged particles covered a small volume of an atom in comparison to the total volume of an atom.
