Answer:
Observations of Rutherford's scattering experiment:
Most of the fast moving α-particles passed straight through the gold foil. Some of the α-particles were deflected by the foil by small angles. Surprisingly one out of every 12,000 alpha particles appeared to rebound.
Bohr improved Rutherford's atomic model by proposing that electrons travelled in circular orbits with specific energy levels. Explanation: Rutherford proposed that electrons circled the nucleus like planets around the sun. ... When a metal atom is heated, it absorbs energy and the electrons jump to higher energy levels.
