a. What is the difference in the atomicmodels of Thomson and Rutherford? |
| Answer» <p>1. On one hand, Thomson's Model emphasised on the uniform distribution of mass and within an atom, Rutherford's model gave the concept of the mass being concentrated in a centrally located region, called nucleus.</p><p>2. Thomson's Model depicted electrons as being stationary and embedded within the positive sphere. Rutherford stated that Electrons move around the nucleus and are in motion.</p><p>3. Where on one hand Thomson's model was relatively stable, Rutherford proposed a very unstable model of an atom, as electrons would radiate energy when in motion, and ultimately fall into the nucleus.</p> | |
