2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What major discovery did Rutherford make regarding the atom?
Think about where the mass of an atom is concentrated.
How do electrons revolve around the nucleus in Rutherford's model?
Consider what analogy might help visualize their motion.
What did Rutherford conclude about atomic structure from his gold foil experiment?
Recall what surprising result occurred during the experiment.
True or False: Rutherford's model explains why electrons do not spiral into the nucleus.
Think about what classical physics says about moving charges.
Given the observations from Rutherford’s gold foil experiment, describe how one could experimentally demonstrate the concept of mostly empty space in atoms.
Think about how the experiment was originally structured.
How would you explain the necessity of moving from Rutherford's model to Bohr's model to a peer unfamiliar with atomic physics?
What deficiencies did Rutherford’s model present that weren’t solved until the next model was developed?
