Question

What suprising result is explained using this model

Answer 1

Answer:

B. A few positive particles bounced back because they were pushed away from the positive center.

Explanation:

The result of the experiment conducted by Rutherford shows that a few positive particles bounced back because they were pushed away from the positive center.

This is the central theme of Rutherford's experiment on a thin gold foil.

• In 1911, Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment that gave the modeling of the atomic structure a great boost.
• He bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles.
• He discovered that most of the alpha particles passed through the foil while a few of them were deflected back.
• This led him to postulate that an atom has a small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.
