Question

20 PTS BRAINLIEST If Thomson's model of the atom was correct, what would Rutherford have seen in his experiments?
All of the alpha particles would have passed straight through the foil.
All of the alpha particles would have reflected off the foil.
Most of the alpha particles would have been absorbed by the foil.
Some of the alpha particles would have been deflected off the foil at large angles.

Answer 1

The correct option is A.
J.J Thompson proposed the plum model of atomic structure. The model states that the atom is a sphere of positively charged matter in which electrons are embedded.
Rutherford designed an experiment to verify the truth of this model. He set up a beam of alpha particles which are to be passed a thin gold foil. If the JJ model of atomic structure is correct, all of the alpha particles suppose to pass through the foil, but some of the alpha particles bounced back while those that passed through the foil emerged at different angles.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

This is because in J.J. Thompson model, there would be no nucleus to reflect the alpha particles. This means there would be no reflection of the particles, making the answer A
