According to Thomson's model, every atom consists of a positively charged sphere of radius `10^(-10)m` in which entire mass and positive charge of the atom are uniformly distributed. Inside the sphere, electrons are embedded like seeds in a watermelon. According Rutherford, entire positive charge and mass of the atom are concentrated in a tiny central core of the atom, which is called atomic nucleus. Size of nucleus `~~10^(-15)m`. The nucleus contains proton and neutrons. Negatively charged electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular orbits.
Large angle scattering of `alpha`-particle could not be explained by

Options

A. Rutherford model
B. Thomson model
C. Both Rutherford model and Thomson model
D. Neither Rutherford model nor Thomson model

Explanation

Thomson model of the atom could not explain large angle scattering of alpha particles.
