Bombarded α-Particles on a thin Sheet of Gold
Explanation:
- Rutherford Atomic Model is also known as " The plum pudding model"
- Rutherford’s in his experiment bombarded α-particles which are of high energy on a thin sheet of gold nearly 100 nm of thickness and observed the trajectory path of these particles after interacting with the foil of gold.
- He placed a fluorescent screen of zinc sulfide around the thin gold foil to study the trajectory path of the α-particles and its deflection.
- Most of the α-particles passed through the gold foil were not deflected as most of the internal space of the atom was empty.
- The result was that the positive charge of the atom occupies very little space.
