Describe the ruther ford model of atom state one drawback of ruther for model of the atom |
| Answer» Rutherford performs an experiment in which he allowed the bombarding of alpha particles on a gold foil.He observed the following events - Most of the alpha particles pass through the gold foil it means most of the space of atom is empty. Some of the alpha particles deliated by 90 degree or more angle. This consersces that in the centre of atom there was (+) charge which repels the alpha particles. Very little alpha particles returned to their path this confirms that in the centre of atom there is a dense mass.DRAWBACK OF RUTHERFORD\'S MODELAccording to Rutherford\'s model it was suggested that electrons revolve around the nucleus in the circular orbit. He failed to explain from where the electrons get energy to revolve because when a body revolves, it radiates energy | |
