randomly move around On the basis of the results of ⍺-scattering experiments, Rutherford
suggested the following picture of the atom:
1. Atom may be regarded as a sphere of diameter 10-10 m but whole of
the positive charge and almost the entire mass of the atom is
concentrated in a small central core called nucleus having diameter
Electrons move
of about 10-14m.
Bohr spherical orbits at fix 2. The nucleus is surrounded by electrons. In other words, the
distance electrons are spread over the remaining part of the atom leaving
plenty of empty space in the atom.
