Question

what was Rutherford's experiment​

Answer 1

Answer: Rutherford bombarded alpha rays( doubly charged He atoms) on a gold foil. There, he observed the no. of rays that passed undeviated and the ones which passed with deviation.

Observations:-

From this experiment, Rutherford observed

1.) That all most all the rays, went undeviated.

2.) Very little rays were deviated by very small angles.

3.) A very little rays were deviated by very large angles or were reflected back.

Conclusion:-

Hence, it was concluded that in an atom; most of the region was empty or covered by electrons as most of the rays went undeviated.

An atom had a dense centre of positive charge ( protons ) but this region covered a very little space of an atom since, very little rays were deviated or reflected.

Hope it helped :-)

Answer 2

EXPLANATION :-

This 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.Aug 7, 2017
