Rutherford's experiment on scattering of...

Rutherford's experiment on scattering of alpha particles showed for the first time that atom has :

A

Electron

B

Proton

C

nucleus

D

Neutrons

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
According to the conclasions of Ratherford's `alpha` scattering experiment m ost of the atom is empty So, the `alpha` particle go across undefiected .The positive charge is concetrated is a very small space in the atom, which deflected the posivelity charged `alpha` particle .This small and particle that happen to travel in line with the nucleus get deflected by `180^(@)`

  • What did Rutherford's experiments on alpha particles cattering indicate about the structure of the atom?

    A
    Atoms are roughly sperical with a radius of about `10^(-10)`m.
    B
    The electrons occupy quantized energy levels, absorbing or emitting energy only when theymake a quantum jump between these levels.
    C
    The density of positive charge within an atom is not uniform throughout the atom's volume.
    D
    Allowed electron orbits must have a circumference equal to a whole number times the electron's de Broglie wavelength.
