What is Rutherford’s Atom Model?

Class: Class 12 Subject: Chemistry Topic: Electrochemistry

On the basis of the results of α-scattering experiment, Rutherford suggested the following picture of the atom:



·   Atom may be regarded as a sphere of diameter 10–10 m but whole of the positive charge and almost the entire mass of the atom is concentrated in a small central core called nucleus having diameter of about 10–14 m.

·   The nucleus is surrounded by electrons. In other words, the electrons are spread over the remaining part of the atom leaving plenty of empty space in the atom.
