Question:
What were the important features of atomic model based on Rutherford's scattering experiment?
Answer:
Main features of atomic model based on Rutherford's scattering experiment:
- Most of the space in the atom is empty.
- Atom consists of a dense small positively charged nucleus which is at the centre of the atom.
- Electrons are distributed in the empty space around the nucleus and move in concentric orbits.
- Volume of nucleus is negligibly small as compared to volume of the atom.
- Charge on Number of electrons is same the total positive charge in the nucleus. Hence atom is electrically neutral.
