Which model of the atom was supported by the gold foil experiment?

The Rutherford model, or the nuclear model


What are the differences between the plum pudding and planetary models of the atom?

The plum pudding model describes the atom as a pudding, occupying most of the volume an atom occupies. The pudding is positively charged. Inside the large pudding are negatively charged specs (plums), representing electrons. This model was found to be flawed because, when alpha particles were fired at atoms, it was found that a proportion of the positively charged alpha particles consisting of two neutrons and two protons backscattered. This meant that the positive charge density (charge per unit volume) of the atom must have been greater than what was described by the plum pudding model. For this to make sense, most of the atom must actually have been a vacuum. Therefore, the planetary model was created to describe atom more accurately. In the planetary model (nuclear model), the atom consists of electrons orbiting a nucleus. The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons.


What is the first atom bomb called?

The first nuclear explosive tested was code named Gadget. July 16, 1945.The first nuclear bomb dropped was code named Little Boy. August 6, 1945.It remains unknown when the first atom bomb was created.


What is the energy stored in the center of an atom?

nuclear energy


What is nuclear blinding energy?

Nuclear binding energy is the energy that holds nucleons (protons and neutrons) together in an atomic nucleus. It is derived from what is called mass deficit. Each nucleon in the atom gives up a tiny amount of its mass when the atom is created. This mass in converted into binding energy.
