Was rutherfords model of the atom incorrect or incomplete explain answer?

Rutherford's model of the atom was incomplete. He proposed a model in which electrons orbit the positively charged nucleus like planets around the sun. However, this model failed to explain the stability of the atom and the energy levels of electrons. It was later improved upon by Niels Bohr's model, which incorporated quantum mechanics concepts to explain these phenomena.


How was rutherfords model similar to thomsons model and how was it different?

Rutherford's model was similar to Thomson's model in that both described atoms as having a positively charged center (nucleus) surrounded by negatively charged electrons. However, Rutherford's model differed in that he proposed that the majority of an atom's mass and positive charge was concentrated in the nucleus, with electrons orbiting around it, while Thomson's model suggested that the positive charge was uniformly distributed throughout the atom.


What does particle mean in science?

Particle model is a scientific model of the 3 states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases.


What is a word science word for- a representation of an object or event?

A scientific term for a representation of an object or event is "model". Models can be physical, conceptual, or mathematical representations used to study and understand complex systems or phenomena in science.


How did Rutherfords work help form the presentday model of the atom?

His experiment with the gold foil and the beam of positively charged particles proved that the nucleus of the atom is not solid. The beam past through the foil and bounced back. Rutherford's experiment contradicted Thomson's theory that an atom is solid.

How did rutherfords's experimental evidence lead to the development of a atomic model?

Rutherfords gold foil experiment demonstrated the existence of the nucleus and lead to the model of a positive nucleus surrounded by electrons. This model was further developed by Bohr and then by Schroedinger and others to become the quantum mechanical model we now have with electrons in orbitals around the central positively charged nucleus..
