Question

In 1909, Ernest Rutherford performed an experiment to explore the atomic structure. In his experiment, he projected high-speed α‎ particles onto a thin gold foil. He found that all α‎ particles did not follow the same path. Most of the particles passed through the foil without any scattering, implying that most of the space in an atom is empty. Some particles were scattered at a large angle, and very few of them scattered back in the direction from which they had come. Based on these observations, Rutherford proposed an atomic model, which is known as Rutherford’s atom.

On the basis of Ruthertord's experimentel observations, which of the following statements describes the structure of the atom according to Rutherford's atomic model?
A. In an aborn, negatively charged electrons are dispersed in the space surrounding tho positively charged nucleus of an atom
B. ln an atom, au of the positive and negative charges are randomly distributed.
C. In an atom, the postive eherges are ocated in a smal core wrin the atom cated the nucleus
D. In an atom, positively charged porticles are dispersed in the space surounding the negiively charged sphere

Answer 1

A. In an aborn, negatively charged electrons are dispersed in the space surrounding tho positively charged nucleus of an atom

C. In an atom, the positive energies are located in a small core within the atom called the nucleus

Step-by-step explanation:

the answers are options A and C.

In the year 1909, Emest Rutherfords performed this experiment from which his atomic model came about. The atomic model gave a description of atom to be a small core which is dense and which has a nucleus that is positively charged. Rutherford in his model tries to give a description of the atom as mainly just empty space and that it has electrons going through a static or fixed charged nucleus. While doing this they are in sets and their paths are predictable.
