Question

In the Rutherfords atomic model, do the alpha particles get deflected when the hit the neutron aor are they deflected because of positive and negative charges

Open in App

Solution

The alpha particles get deflected due to repulsion with the positively charged nucleus, they cannot enter the nucleus due to high density of nucleus.

We know that the Rutherford model of the atom is superior to the Thompson model because when alpha particles are scattered from atoms:

Q. During the alpha particle scattering experiment of Rutherford, he was expecting the positively charged particle to pass through the atom considering the pudding model of an atom by J.J Thompson. According to Thompson's model the atom is stuffed with positively charged dough, then why did Rutherford not expect the particle to bounce back or get deflected due to the +^veand +^vecontact.....

Please correct if any information stated is incorrect.

Q. Assertion :In Rutherford's

α

-particle scattering experiment, most of the

α

-particles were deflected by nearly

180^{0}

. Reason: The positive charge of the atom is spread throughout the atom that repelled and deflected the positively charged

α

Q. How did Rutherford conclude that

α

-particles were not deflected by the attraction of electrons inside the atom?

Q. Statement 1: A large number of alpha particles were deflected in the Rutherford experiment.
Statement 2: Alpha particles that came close to the nucleus were deflected.
