What is the observation and reason of Rutherford gold foil experiments?
Observation: Most of the alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil, but a small fraction were deflected at large angles. Reason: This led Rutherford to conclude that atoms are mostly empty space with a dense positively charged nucleus at the center, which caused the deflection of the positively charged alpha particles.
Problems with Rutherford model?
In Rutherford's model of the atom the electrons had a circular motion around the nucleus. By the laws of physics, if something is going in a circular motion then it must be accelerating and a particle that accelerates is losing energy. This means that the electrons that are revolving around the nucleus would eventually fall into the nucleus. Nucleus would eventually collapse. This does not happen therefore the Rutherford model was put aside.
What was the fatal flaw in ernest Rutherford in 1911 model?
Ernest Rutherford's 1911 model of the atom failed to explain why electrons, which are negatively charged, do not collapse into the positively charged nucleus due to electrostatic forces. This model was unable to account for the stability of the atom.
What property of light best explain your observation?
The observation that light travels in a straight line can be explained by the property of light known as rectilinear propagation. This property states that light travels in a straight line in a homogenous medium.
What two things must a theory do?
A theory must provide an explanation for an observation and be reinforced by observational data and experimentation.
What is the main observation of the Rutherford's experiment?
Most of the particles went through the foil, but some were deflected
What term describes an observation pattern in nature without any attempt to explain it?
Observation.
In scientific inquiry making an observation typically leads to?
Forming a hypothesis - to explain the observation.
Does every scientific method begin with an observation?
That is true. Science tries to make sense of what is observed, to explain the universe in which we live. Until you make an observation, there is nothing to explain.
What is a hypothesis that does not explain an observation?
When you are using the scientific method, you would try to imagine a hypothesis which explains an observation, but you might not succeed. A hypothesis that does not explain an observation would be considered a failed hypothesis. You would then need to invent a different hypothesis.
What is the observation and reason of Rutherford gold foil experiments?
Observation: Most of the alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil, but a small fraction were deflected at large angles. Reason: This led Rutherford to conclude that atoms are mostly empty space with a dense positively charged nucleus at the center, which caused the deflection of the positively charged alpha particles.
An Attempt to explain observation that has already taken place?
I have no clue
What describes a natural event but does not explain why the event happens?
An observation.
How does shelock Holmes explain his deduction?
By observation (and by knowing "everything").
What is the relationship between observation and explanation?
You must observe to explain.
When positively charged particles bounced back from the foil Rutherford called this?
Rutherford called this phenomenon the "scattering of alpha particles" which was a key observation that led to the development of the nuclear model of the atom.
What bounced back in Rutherford's gold foil experiment?
Alpha particles bounced back in Rutherford's gold foil experiment. This observation led to the conclusion that atoms have a small, dense nucleus at their center.
