Which of the following conclusions couldnot be derived from Rutehrford's a-paticle scattering experiment?

A

Most of the space in the atom is empty.

B

The radius of the atom is about `10^(-10)m` while that of nucleus is `10^(-15)m`.

C

Electrons move in a circular path of fixed energy called orbits.

D

Electrons and the nucleus are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The scattering experiment gave no idea of the electron orbits.

    Which of the following chemicals is/are derived from RNA?

    At the suggestion of Ernest Rutherford, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden bombarded a thin gold foil by d-particles from a polonium source. It was expected that O-particles would go right through the foil with hardly any deflection. Although most of the alpha particles indeed were not deviated by much, a few were scattered through very large angles. Some were even scattered in the backward direction. The only way to explain the results Rutherford found, was to picture an atom as being composed of a tiny nucleus in which it is positive charge and nearly all its mass is concentrated.
