Rutherford and other scientists had guessed that electrons move around the nucleus as planets move around the sun. * accelerating charges produce some kind of light or electromagnetic radiation.
an electron traveling around a nucleus in a circular orbit is constantly accelerating because it is changing it's direction. And according to classical theory , these electrons should emit photons of electromagnetic radiation, losing energy in the process. because they lose energy, they should ultimately collapse into the nucleus. but this does not happen in real life. the materials we see around us are obviously stable ,and because of that reason , they must be composed of stable atoms.
basically, without realizing the existence of energy levels among electrons, he could not explain the chemical properties of an atom. Also, without the ability to jump into an orbit closer to the nucleus when an electron looses energy, the atom would implode ... ouch -- black hole ... but that's another subject
What else can I help you with?
When was rutherfords model created?
Rutherfords Model is Rutherfords Model... thats it, its just a model.. go look it up on google images im sure you will figure it out by then.
What was ernest rutherfords discovery?
Rutherford found that atoms have a nucleus
Who atomic model determined that an atoms positive charge is concentrated in the atoms center?
The Rutherford model proposed that an atom's positive charge is concentrated in a dense center called the nucleus. This model was based on the famous gold foil experiment conducted by Ernest Rutherford in 1909.
What is the rutherfords atomic model?
Because Joel is the man
What change to the atomic model helped solve the problem seen in Rutherfords model?
Rutherford's model faced issues explaining atomic stability and the emission of radiation by atoms. The introduction of Niels Bohr's model addressed these problems by proposing that electrons occupy specific energy levels or orbits around the nucleus, allowing them to exist in stable states without radiating energy. This quantization of electron orbits helped explain why atoms do not collapse and provided a framework for understanding atomic spectra.
Was Rutherfords model of an atom incorrect or incomplete?
incorrect
How was Bohr's model similar to Rutherfords model?
It described a nucleus surrounded by a large volume of space.
What are the two aspect that Thompson's and Rutherfords model are similar?
Both Thompson's and Rutherford's models of the atom proposed that atoms consist of smaller particles. They both suggested that there is a central nucleus within the atom.
How did Rutherfords model of the atom different from thomsons?
The Rutherford model involve a positive nucleus separated from electrons.
what did bohrs model of the atom include that rutherfords model did not have?
Niels Bohr introduced the notion of electronic orbits.
Why did Rutherfords model seem impossible to other physicists at the time?
i wish i knew
Did bohr proove that atoms exist?
Bohr's contribution to chemistry and physics regarding atoms was a theory on the atomic structure refining rutherfords model. Atoms were already shown to exist by others. Dalton is perhaps the most influential of the early pioneers.
