Rutherford used his gold foil experiment as evidence for a new atomic model. He suggested that the atom contained a small
positively charged nulceus surrounded by a large void filled with only a few electrons orbiting the nucleus.
What other experiment or evidence assisted in the creation of this model?
A)
Electrons in orbit would be captured by a nucleus.
B)
The precise location of an electron is impossible to acertain.
o
The plum pudding model of the atom agreed with the nuclear model
D)
Thomson discovered the atom contained negatively charged electrons.
