Best Answer

1.Positive charged particle is present at the center of an atom and it is known as the nucleus which consists of the major mass of the atom.

2.The atoms are neutral due to the presence of equal charge of negatively charged electron and positive charged nucleus.

3.The electrons move around the nucleus as the planets move round the sun and the centrifugal force of nucleus is equal to the charge of the moving electrons.

The main points of the Rutherford's model are:

1) The positively charged protons are present in the centre of an atom called

nucleus.

2) The size of nucleus is very small as campare to the size of an atom.

3) The mass of the atom is also concentrated in the nucleus.

4) The negatively charged electrons revolve around the nucleus.

5) Most of the space in an atom is empty.

It is shortly named as 'Plum Pudding' model.

According to him, the protons are like a pudding and the electrons are clustered in it as plums.
