It doesn't explain why electrons which are negative don't collapse into the positive nucleus.

That the mass of an atom is mostly located in a small nucleus.
The conclusion was that an atom has a nucleus (center) with a positive charge.
positive
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.
Can someone answer please! I am trying to do a lab for college at TOWSON UNIVERSITY and cannot go any farther till i get this!
yes it was tested by the gold foil experiment
The presence of a tine nucleus
The presence of a tine nucleus
This classic diffraction experiment was conducted in 1911.
he shot tiny alpha particles throug a piece of gold foil.
The most surprising fact about Rutherford's experiment is that some of the atoms bounced backwards while others scattered.
That the mass of an atom is mostly located in a small nucleus.
The conclusion was that an atom has a nucleus (center) with a positive charge.
He discovered that the atom was mostly made up of empty space.
positive
The positively charged nucleus caused deflection. Positive charge is because of protons inside nucleus.
Rutherford's experiment supported the statement that the atom has a nucleus, which contains the majority of the atom's mass and is positively charged. It also indicated that the nucleus is small and dense compared to the overall size of the atom.
