Rutherford concluded the model of the atom from the \u03b1-particle scattering experiment as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i) There is a positively charged centre in an atom called the nucleus. Nearly all the mass of an atom resides in the nucleus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) The electrons revolve around the nucleus in well-defined orbits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii) The size of the nucleus is very small as compared to the size of the atom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawbacks of Rutherford\u2019s model<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  • He explained that the electrons in an atom revolve around the nucleus in well-defined orbits. Particles in a circular orbit would experience acceleration.<\/li>
  • Thus, the revolving electron would lose energy and finally fall into the nucleus.<\/li>
  • But this cannot take place as the atom would be unstable and matter would not exist in the form we know.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    • The Millikan\u2019s Oil Drop Experiment was an experiment performed by Robert A. Millikan and Harvey Fletcher in 1909 to measure the charge of an electron.<\/li>
    • In the experiment, Millikan allowed charged tiny oil droplets to pass through a hole into an electric field.<\/li>
    • By varying the strength of electric field, the charge over an oil droplet was calculated, which always came as an integral value of \u2018e.\u2019<\/strong><\/li>
    • The conclusion of this is that the charge is said to be quantized, i.e. the charge on any particle will always be an integral multiple of e which is 1.6*10-19<\/sup><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
