- Rutherford’s Model of the Atom: He bombarded the beam of alpha particles on a very thin gold foil.
While bombarding he observes the number of scattering of particles:
- Most of the particles passed either un-deviated or with a very small deviation.
- Some deviated by large angles
- 1 out of 8000 was deflected by more than 90°
The conclusion of this deflection:
- Most of the space of an atom is empty.
- At the center of an atom having a tiny positively charged particle called a nucleus.
- The center nucleus has all the mass of an atom.
- The amount of positive charge at the nucleus is equal to the total amount of negative charges on all the electrons of the atom.
- All the electrons revolve around the nucleus and coulomb force provides the centripetal force.
EXPLANATION:
- From the above discussion, we can say that very few alpha particles are deviated by 90°. So option 4 is correct.
