Question

would backward scattering of Alpha particles (scattering angle>90°) be more or less in Thomson's model of an atom than rutherford's model​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rutherford responded, "Why not let him see whether any -particles can be scattered through a large angle?" When this experiment was done, Marsden found that a small fraction (perhaps 1 in 20,000) of the -particles were scattered through angles larger than 90o
