Rutherfords alpha scattering experiment showed that the charge on the nucleus of the atom must be?
Rutherford's alpha scattering experiment showed that the charge on the nucleus of the atom must be positive because the alpha particles were deflected by the concentrated positive charge in the nucleus.
Based on the data gathered in the Rutherfords scattering experiments the concept of atomic structure was modified Which of the following aspects of the structure of the atom were validated by these?
The Rutherford scattering experiments validated the presence of a small, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center of the atom. They also confirmed that most of the atom's mass is concentrated in the nucleus. Additionally, the experiments revealed that electrons orbit the nucleus at a distance, debunking the earlier "plum pudding" model of the atom.
What caused deflection in rutherfords gold foil experiment?
The positively charged nucleus caused deflection. Positive charge is because of protons inside nucleus.
What did ernest rutherfords gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms?
The conclusion was that an atom has a nucleus (center) with a positive charge.
Who found that neutrons are a particle with no charge?
James Chadwick confirmed the existence of neutrons in 1932 through his experiments on neutron scattering. Neutrons are neutral subatomic particles located in the nucleus of atoms and are essential for maintaining nuclear stability.

Rutherford's alpha-scattering experiment showed that the charge on the nucleus of the atom must be a.positive b.neutral c.negative d.too small to be detected?
positive
Why could the neutron not be discovered in same experiments as the electron and proton?
Early experiments were based off attraction. The neutron had no charge to attract or repel or to be attracted or repelled. so these experiments could not figure out that there was a neutral particle in the nucleus.
What factors will affect the extent of scattering of the alpha particles?
The factors that will affect the extent of scattering of alpha particles include the charge and mass of the nucleus they interact with, the impact parameter (closest approach distance), and the energy of the alpha particles. Additionally, the angle of deflection will be influenced by the velocity and direction of the alpha particles as they approach the nucleus.
Did Ernest Rutherfords results fit with J.J Thomsons view of the atom?
Thomsons model is sometimes called the plum pudding model as he envisaged a soup of positive charge with negative charges, by then already called electrons swimming round. He came up with this idea in 1904."the atoms of the elements consist of a number of negatively electrified corpuscles enclosed in a sphere of uniform positive electrification"Rutherford following on from the famous scattering experiment with gold foil and alpha particles proposed that the positive charge was concentrated in a central nucleus.
Is the nucleus a very small region of the atom?
No, the nucleus is a relatively small region located at the center of an atom. It contains protons and neutrons, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in the electron cloud. The nucleus contributes most of the atom's mass and has a positive charge.
Location of protons in an atom?
Protons are found in the nucleus of an atom, along with the neutrons. Electrons orbit the nucleus.
