Rutherford created a planetary model for atoms after his experiments. Imagine if Rutherford's idea that electrons radiate energy while orbiting around a nucleus
was true. Which other model or scientific idea would have been strengthened by this?
Bohr's model of the atom would have been strengthened because Bohr proposed that the energy of electrons is continuous.
• Bohr's model of the atom would have been strengthened because Bohr proposed that electrons can have only certain energy values.
O The idea that atoms are unstable would have been strengthened because the orbiting electron would release energy and circle into the nucleus.
O The idea that atoms are unstable would be strengthened because the orbiting electron would absorb energy while moving and escape the pull from the
nucleus.
Is the statement inconsistent with Rutherford’s nuclear theory as it was originally stated? Why? A phosphorus atom has 15 protons in its nucleus and 150 electrons outside of its nucleus.
In the Rutherford Gold Foil Experiment, why did Rutherford expect the alpha particles to pass directly through the foil, experiencing at most, minor deflections in their path?
I understand his hypothesis was based on the plum pudding model which is described as small electrons being embedded in a spherical cloud of positive matter.
Knowing this, why would Rutherford use alpha particles? Aren't alpha particles positively charged which would then be expected to repel from the 'positive matter' in the gold foil. So, why would he hypothesize that a positive material would pass through another positive material, despite alpha particles being more massive?
I understand why Rutherford attained the results he did but not why he hypothesized the results he did.
