What is Rutherford's a-ray scattering experiment ? Give its observations. Howdoes Rutherford explain this observations ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In Rutherford.s nuclear model of atom, a stream of high energy.a-particles from a radioactive source was directed at a thin foil of gold metal. The thin gold foil was surrounded by circular fluorescent zinc sulphide screen. Whenever a-particles struck the screen, a tiny flash of light was produced at that point.
