What else can I help you with?
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.
In Rutherfords gold foil experiment some of the aimed at gold atoms bounced back suggesting that a solid mass was at the center of the atom?
In Rutherford's gold foil experiment, some of the Alpha particles aimed at gold atoms bounced back, suggesting that a solid mass was at the center of the atom.They suggested that most of the mass of the atom is concentrated at the center and the center is positively charged.
In Rutherfords gold foil experiment shown in Figure 4-1 alpha particles that bounce straight back from the foil have struck in the gold atoms?
No, they struck the nucleus of the atom. Since the alpha particles are positively charged and nucleus is positively charged as well, they repelled each other and alpha particles are repelled back
What do we call an experiment in which only factor is allowed to vary?
A controlled experiment.
What is the measured result in an experiment?
The measured result in an experiment is the data or information collected during the experiment that is used to analyze and draw conclusions. It is typically recorded in numerical or qualitative form and reflects the outcome of the experiment.
Was Rutherfords theory tested and published?
yes it was tested by the gold foil experiment
How does the design of Rutherfords experiment show what he was trying to find?
The presence of a tine nucleus
Howes the design of rutherfords experiment show what he was trying to find out?
The presence of a tine nucleus
How does the design of Rutherfords experiment show what he was trying to find out?
This classic diffraction experiment was conducted in 1911.
What was ernest rutherfords's experiment?
he shot tiny alpha particles throug a piece of gold foil.
What were the surprising results of Rutherfords experiment?
The most surprising fact about Rutherford's experiment is that some of the atoms bounced backwards while others scattered.
What did Rutherfords gold foil experiment help him conclude?
That the mass of an atom is mostly located in a small nucleus.
What did ernest rutherfords gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms?
The conclusion was that an atom has a nucleus (center) with a positive charge.
What was significance of rutherfords experiment?
He discovered that the atom was mostly made up of empty space.
In Rutherfords gold foil experiment particles in dense atomic nuclei caused some alpha particles to bounce straight back from the gold foil.?
positive
What caused deflection in rutherfords gold foil experiment?
The positively charged nucleus caused deflection. Positive charge is because of protons inside nucleus.
Which of the following statements about the atom did Rutherfords experiment support?
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.
