Rutherford's experiment is called the Planetary Experiment because of Rutherford's concentration on most of the atom's mass into a very small core. The core would contain most of the atom's mass and in the same way the sun contains most of the solar systems mass.

∙ 10y agoIt was not called as the planetary model but was called as the NUCLEAR MODEL. In this model, the presence of proton was NOT mentioned. He also said that the electrons are embeded but the orbits of electrons were NOT mentioned. Bohr's model was the one called as the planetary model.
Interpretations in his experiment:
1. The atom has a central core called nucleus where mass is concentrated.
2. Charge of the nucleus is positive. (because of the presence of proton)
3. Nucleus is very small compared to the volume of the atom. (mostly an empty space)
4. The electrons are found outside the nucleus.
5. Nucleus' diameter is 10^-12 cm
atoms'diameter is 1-5 x 10^-8 cm
example illustration is a marble (nucleus) compared to the soft ball field (atom)
Bohr challenged the model of Rutherford. Bohr introduced the planetary model

Whose model was called planetary model of the atom?
its was Ernest Rutherford who proposed the planetary atomic model
Was Rutherfords model of an atom incorrect or incomplete?
incorrect
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
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 nickname was given to rutherford's model of the atom?
The model atom Ernest Rutherford made is simply called the Rutherford Model. The experiment he conducted during his research is referred to as the Gold Foil Experiment. Rutherford is known as the father of nuclear physics.
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 is the rutherfords atomic model?
Because Joel is the man
Was Rutherfords model of an atom incorrect or incomplete?
incorrect
How did Neils Bohr revise Rutherfords atomic model?
no
What did rutherfords model fail to explain why elements had?
Stability
How was Bohr's model similar to Rutherfords model?
It described a nucleus surrounded by a large volume of space.
Describe the planetary model of an atom?
The planetary model of an atom is simple. The nucleus is the planet and the electrons are the moons in the model.
Who portrays the planetary model of an atom?
Niels Bohr, he is the man who portrays the planetary model of an atom.
