The scattering of a stream of positively charged particles when striking a thin film of gold confirms that the positive charge in an atom must be located in a dense central mass. atoms contain electrons in varying energy layers around the nucleus. electrons are found in the center of an atom. electrons can only be found within predicted areas surrounding the nucleus.

Respuesta :

Answer:

According to Thompson's model, Every atom consists of a positively charged sphere of radius 10-- 10m in which entire mass and positive charge of the atom are uniformly distributed inside the sphere electrons are embedded like seeds in watermelon. According Rutherford entire poistive charge and mass of the atom are concentrated in a tiny central core of the atom which is called atomic nucleus contains. Size of nucleus = 10-- 15m. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. Negatively charged electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular orbits.
