Details
Radioactivity and its discovery- gateway to know the structure of atom. Investigation of radiations produced by radioactive elements. Rutherford's Gold foil experiment. Why did he take Gold for studying the scattering of alpha rays? What did he expect from the experiment - alpha ray scattering by Thomson's atomic model. What were the observations of the experiment? Conclusions- discovery of nucleus Atom as per Rutherford- Planetary Model of the atom. What holds the electron in circular orbit?
Was Rutherford's atomic model able to explain the characteristics of matter and mystery of spectral lines? Drawbacks of Rutherford's model - instability of the atoms. Why was Rutherford's model unstable?
