The table below shows two conclusions about atoms based on experiments by Rutherford and Thompson Rutherford
Fire radioactive particles through thin gold foils and detect them on a
screen
Scatter radioactive particles
The nucleus is the center of the atom with electrons revolving around it in
orbits
It is a spherical object containing electrons in a massive positive charge
distribution
Thompson
Which of these statements best explains why Rutherford and Thompson visualized the atom differently?
Atoms of different elements contain different particles.
New experimental processes provide new scientific evidence.
A single model of an atom cannot be agreed upon by all scientists.
Scientists believe in proposing theories which contradict current theories.
