Atomic Structure

Question 1

Describe Thomson’s plum-pudding atomic model

Answer 1

Electrons are suspended in a sphere with a positive charge

Question 2

Describe Rutherford’s experiment and nuclear theory

Answer 2

All positive particles are concentrated in a small area and surrounded by empty space negative particles are dispersed through, the positive and negative particles are equal in number, which Rutherford determined by sending particles through a gold-foil sheet, particles that were deflected ran into the nucleus, others passed through the electron cloud
