Rutherford's alpha particle scattering experiment proved that the atom was mainly empty space, which cannot be allowed by the Thompson model. Thompson's model stated that atoms are positive spheres with electrons studded in them.

∙ 12y agoRutherford's atomic model solved problems inherent in Thomson's
atomic model, but it also raised others. For example, an atomic nucleus
composed entirely of positive charges should fly apart due to electrostatic
forces of repulsion. Furthermore, Rutherford's nuclear atom could not
adequately explain the total mass of an atom. The discovery of the
neutron, in 1932, eventually helped to settle these questions.

no
What did rutherfords model fail to explain why elements had?
Stability
How did Rutherfords model of the atom different from thomsons?
The Rutherford model involve a positive nucleus separated from electrons.
How did Rutherfords work help form the present day model of a atom?
The atomic model of Rutherford was a step in the historical development of the today concept of an atom.

Because Joel is the man
Was Rutherfords model of an atom incorrect or incomplete?
incorrect
How did Neils Bohr revise Rutherfords atomic model?
no
What did rutherfords model fail to explain why elements had?
Stability
How was Bohr's model similar to Rutherfords model?
It described a nucleus surrounded by a large volume of space.
what did bohrs model of the atom include that rutherfords model did not have?
Niels Bohr introduced the notion of electronic orbits.
How did Rutherfords model of the atom different from thomsons?
The Rutherford model involve a positive nucleus separated from electrons.

i wish i knew
What was the year and model of Lumpy Rutherfords car?
1940 ford deluxe convertible(purple)
Who atomic model determined that an atoms positive charge is concentrated in the atoms center?
This is the Rutherford model.
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..
