How was Thomsons atomic theory different from Rutherfords atomic theory?

According to Thomson's atomic theory, the mass of an atom was special evenly throughout its volume. Errest Rutherford's experiment proved this wrong.

What contribution to atomic theory was made by Geiger and Marsden in their gold foil experiment?

was wandering the smae thing but i think they just developed rutherfords theory by doing the gold foil experiment in depth


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.


What was the significance of Rutherfords work?

Ernest Rutherford's famous "gold foil" experiment changed the way we though of atomic structure. His demonstration proved that atoms have a small, dense nucleus which contains protons and neutrons. The electrons were shown to be outside the nucleus. Prior to this, we thought atoms had a consistent structure throughout, like soup or pudding.

Based on the data gathered in the Rutherfords scattering experiments the concept of atomic structure was modified Which of the following aspects of the structure of the atom were validated by these?

-The nuclear density being large -most of the atomic volume being empty space -the charge on the nucleus being positive -the existence of the atomic nucleus


Rutherfords conclusion of the structure of an atom?

A short answer for the Rutherford atomic model: the atom is composed from a central part - a nucleus, positively charged, surrounded by electrons - very small negative charged particles.
