Which of the following conclusions could not be derived from Rutherford's alpha-particle scattering experiment ?

Answer»

Most of the space in the atom is empty
The radius of the atom is about `10^(-10)` m while that of NUCLEUS is `10^(-15)m`
Electrons move in a circular PATH of fixed energy called orbits
Electrons and the nucleus are HELD TOGETHER by electrostatic forces of attraction

Solution :CONCEPT of cirular paths of fixed energy was put forward by Bohr an not derived from Rutherford's scattering experiment
