  • A
    An atom consists of a positive sphere with electrons embedded in it.
  • B
    An atom consists of a dense nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons.
  • C

Suppose you are given a chance to repeat the alpha-particle scattering experiment using a thin sheet of solid hydrogen in place of the gold foil. (Hydrogen is a solid at temperatures below $14\; K$.) What results do you expect?

In the Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom,the nucleus (radius about $10^{-15} \; m$) is analogous to the sun about which the electron moves in an orbit (radius $\approx 10^{-10} \; m$) like the earth orbits around the sun. If the dimensions of the solar system had the same proportions as those of the atom,would the earth be closer to or farther away from the sun than it actually is? The radius of the earth's orbit is about $1.5 \times 10^{11} \; m$. The radius of the sun is taken as $7 \times 10^{8} \; m$.

Rutherford's $\alpha$-particle experiment showed that the atoms have

According to the Rutherford's atomic model,the electrons inside the atom are
