Imagine if rutherford conducted his scattering experiment, and his prediction about the movement of alpha particles held true. which of the other models or scientific observations would have also been confirmed? a)the bohr model would have been confirmed because it shows electrons spinning around a nucleus. b)the plum pudding model would have to be true as well because it shows that electrons are scattered within an atom. c)the bohr model would have been confirmed because it shows electrons occupying random positions inside the electron cloud. d)the plum pudding model would have to be true as well because it shows that all positive charge is concentrated at the center of the atom.

Answer is: B) The plum pudding model would have to be true as well because it shows that electrons are scattered within an atom.

Rutherford predicted that most of the alpha particles would pass straight through the gold foil.

This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles. Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film.

Alpha particles are helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons.  

According to Rutherford model of the atom:

1) Atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

2) Major space in an atom is empty.

3) Atoms nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electrons.  

4) An atom is electrically neutral.

< > according to newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.< >

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
