write the conclusion in alpha ray scaterring experiment
Answers
Rutherford's alpha particle scattering experiment changed the way we think of atoms. ... Rutherford directed beams of alpha particles (which are the nuclei of helium atoms and hence positively charged) at thin gold foil to test this model and noted how the alpha particles scattered from the foil.
The results from the alpha scattering experiment led to the conclusion that the mass of an atom was concentrated at the centre (nucleus) and that the nucleus was charged. The alpha scattering experiment led to the 'plum-pudding model' being replaced by the nuclear model.
After performing alpha ray scattering experiment Rutherford concluded that
1. Most of mass of the atom is centrally located . The central part was positively charged.
2. Most of the alpha rays passed through the gold foil which concluded that most of the part of atom is empty
3. Negatively charged particles i.e. electrons revolve around the nucleus.
He compared the atomic model with solar system
