What is Rutherford atomic model? How
he explain the atomic model from alpha
ray
scattering experiment?
Answers
Explanation:
" According to the Rutherford atomic model: The positively charged particles and most of the mass of an atom was concentrated in an extremely small volume. He called this region of the atom as a nucleus. Rutherford model proposed that the negatively charged electrons surround the nucleus of an atom.

Rutherford model proposed that the negatively charged electrons surround the nucleus of an atom.Rutherford, in his experiment, directed high energy streams of α-particles from a radioactive source at a thin sheet (100 nm thickness) of gold. In order to study the deflection caused to the α-particles, he placed a fluorescent zinc sulphide screen around the thin gold foil. Rutherford made certain observations that contradicted Thomson’s atomic model.
