write the conclusion of rutherford's model of an atom
Answers
Conclusion of Rutherford's scattering experiment:
1. Most of the space inside the atom is empty because most of the α-particles passed through the gold foil without getting deflected.
2.Very few particles were deflected from their path, indicating that the positive charge of the atom occupies very little space.
3. A very small fraction of α-particles were deflected by very large angles, indicating that all the positive charge and mass of the gold atom were concentrated in a very small volume within the atom.
From the data he also calculated that the radius of the nucleus is about 105 times less than the radius of the atom.
Explanation:
He drew Following three conclusion
when a beam of alpha particles passes through a gold thin foil
1) There is large space which is empty due to which alpha particles go straight forward
2) Some Alpha Particles deviates from their path
3) Out of 20000 there is very small ≈1 alpha particles due to presence of proton(positive charge)particle in nucleas repelling back....
