Question

What is Rutherford's scattering
experiment? 0 While the main
features of Rutherford's model of
an atom​

Answer 1

Answer:

In his famous scattering experiment, Rutherford bombarded a thin gold foil with α-particles and studied how many of them deflected from their original direction of motion. He noticed that most of the α-particles passed through the foil undeflected, while some deflected at very large angles.

Explanation:

Features of Rutherford's Planetary model:

(1) It explained the existence of a nucleus.

(2) It explains the movement of electrons as a circulatory rotation of electron around the nucleus.

Defects:

(1) It cannot explain the stability of an atom.

(2) It cannot explain the number and velocity of electrons.

(3) according to this theory, the atomic spectrum is continuous and non linear but in fact it is linear and discontinuous.
