Which of the following conclusions couldnot be derived from Rutehrford's `alpha`-particle scattering experiment?

Most of the space in the atom is empty

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

Electrons move in a circular path of fixed energy called orbits

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

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Concept of cirular paths of fixed energy was put forward by Bohr an not derived from Rutherford's scattering experiment

Which of the following conclusions could not be derived from Rutherford's alpha-particle scattering experiments?

Most of the space in the atom is empty

The radius of the atom is about 10^-19m while that of nucleus is 10^-15 m

Electrons move ina circular path of fixed energy called orbits

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

Most of the space in the atom is empty

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

Electrons move in a circular path of fixed energy called orbits

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

mass and energy are related

neutrons are burried deep in the nucieus

electrons occupy space around the nucleus

the point of impact with matter can be preclsely determined
