Problems with Rutherford model?
In Rutherford's model of the atom the electrons had a circular motion around the nucleus. By the laws of physics, if something is going in a circular motion then it must be accelerating and a particle that accelerates is losing energy. This means that the electrons that are revolving around the nucleus would eventually fall into the nucleus. Nucleus would eventually collapse. This does not happen therefore the Rutherford model was put aside.
Who discovered that atoms have a dense center and called it the nucleus?
ernest Rutherford
How is a theory and a observation related?
Scientists make observations about the natural world through experiments and try to explain the phenomena that they observe. Scientists then attempt to explain the occurence of all of these observations in an overarching theory. For example, an observation would be seeing an apple fall to the ground and making measurements. The next step would be taking all of these observations which could include things such as the movement of planets and other cosmic bodies to form the theory of gravity which attempts to explain these observations.

What is the main observation of the Rutherford's experiment?
Most of the particles went through the foil, but some were deflected
What term describes an observation pattern in nature without any attempt to explain it?
Observation.
In scientific inquiry making an observation typically leads to?
Forming a hypothesis - to explain the observation.
Does every scientific method begin with an observation?
That is true. Science tries to make sense of what is observed, to explain the universe in which we live. Until you make an observation, there is nothing to explain.
What is a hypothesis that does not explain an observation?
When you are using the scientific method, you would try to imagine a hypothesis which explains an observation, but you might not succeed. A hypothesis that does not explain an observation would be considered a failed hypothesis. You would then need to invent a different hypothesis.
Can both Rutherford and Bohrs model of the atom explain spectra lines of elements?
Bohr model explain these spectra.
An Attempt to explain observation that has already taken place?
I have no clue
What describes a natural event but does not explain why the event happens?
An observation.
What is the relationship between observation and explanation?
You must observe to explain.
How does shelock Holmes explain his deduction?
By observation (and by knowing "everything").
