Rutherford's atom and the Gold Foil Experiment
COMMENTS
Rutherford scattering experiments
The prevailing model of atomic structure before Rutherford's experiments was devised by J. J. Thomson. Thomson had discovered the electron through his work on cathode rays and proposed that they existed within atoms, and an electric current is electrons hopping from one atom to an adjacent one in a series. There logically had to be a commensurate amount of positive charge to balance the …
Rutherford model
Rutherford's new atom model caused no reaction at first. Rutherford explicitly ignores the electrons, only mentioning Hantaro Nagaoka's Saturnian model. By ignoring the electrons Rutherford also ignores any potential implications for atomic spectroscopy for chemistry. Rutherford himself did not press the case for his atomic model in the following years: his own 1913 book on "Radioactive substances and their radiations" only mentions the atom twice; other book…
Atom
Atom - Nuclear Model, Rutherford, Particles: Rutherford overturned Thomson’s model in 1911 with his famous gold-foil experiment, in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny, massive nucleus.
What is the 'Gold Foil Experiment'? The Geiger …
The Geiger-Marsden experiment, also called the gold foil experiment or the α-particle scattering experiments, refers to a series of early-20th-century experiments that gave physicists their...
Rutherford Scattering
How did Rutherford figure out the structure of the atom without being able to see it? Simulate the famous experiment in which he disproved the Plum Pudding model of the atom by observing alpha particles bouncing off atoms and …
