According to his Thompson's model, an atom was a sphere of positive matter that held electrons, so Rutherford discovered that an atom has a nucleus and that the nucleus contains most of the matter of the atom. Also that the atom has electrons, protons, and neutrons surrounding it.

∙ 11y agoBecause Rutherford was able to show that all of the positive charge in an atom is found in a small, dense, central nucleus.

What is the purpose of the Rutherford experiment?
he wanted to test Thomsons model maybe
How did thomsons experiment change daltons atomic model?
Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes helped him to discover the electron (which Dalton did not know about). Dalton thought that atoms were in.
What discovery lead the scientists to question john daltons model of the atom and to favor jj Thomsons model?
JJ Thomson's discovery of electrons indicated that atoms were not indivisible.
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.
What is the difference between Thomsons atomic model and Rutherfords atomic model?
Thomson's model was the "Plum Pudding model" because it had electrons "floating" around in the ball, but Rutherford's model shows the electron shells, the nucleus, and the molecular particles: neutron, proton, and electron. Hope this helps!

How did Rutherfords findings change Thomsons plum pudding model?
Rutherford supposed that the atom had a central positive nucleus surrounded by negative electrons.
How did Rutherfords model of the atom different from thomsons?
The Rutherford model involve a positive nucleus separated from electrons.
Who atomic model determined that an atoms positive charge is concentrated in the atoms center?
This is the Rutherford model.
How was bohrs atomic model similar to Rutherford's model?

How did Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment change the model of the atom?
After that famous experiment, it was realized that atoms were mostly empty space.

What scientific inquiry skill was Rutherford using in selecting Thomson's model for investigation?
Thomsons model is sometimes called the plum pudding model. Rutherfords results that while most alpha particles were undeflected some alpha particles bounced back
