Question:medium
Draw the graph showing the variation of number of scattered alpha particles \((N)\) detected with scattering angle \((\theta)\) in Geiger-Marsden experiment. Infer two conclusions from the graph.
Draw the graph showing the variation of number of scattered alpha particles \((N)\) detected with scattering angle \((\theta)\) in Geiger-Marsden experiment. Infer two conclusions from the graph.
Show Hint
Remember Rutherford's two most important conclusions:
• Atom is mostly empty space.
• Positive charge and mass are concentrated in a tiny nucleus.
• Atom is mostly empty space.
• Positive charge and mass are concentrated in a tiny nucleus.

Top Questions on Alpha-Particle Scattering And Rutherford’S Nuclear Model Of Atom
- Given below are two statements :
Statement I : Most of the mass of the atom and all its positive charge are concentrated in a tiny nucleus and the electrons revolve around it, is Rutherford’s model.
Statement II : An atom is a spherical cloud of positive charges with electrons embedded in it, is a special case of Rutherford’s model.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below.- JEE Main - 2024
