If the Thompson model of the atom was correct,

Question:

If the Thompson model of the atom was correct, then the result of Rutherford's gold foil experiment would have been :

  1. All of the $\alpha$-particles pass through the gold foil without decrease in speed.

  2. $\alpha$-Particles are deflected over a wide range of angles.

  3. All $\alpha$-particles get bounced back by $180^{\circ}$

  4. $\alpha$-Particles pass through the gold foil deflected by small angles and with reduced speed.

Correct Option: , 4

Solution:

As in Thomson model, protons are diffused (charge is not centred) $\alpha$ - particles deviate by small angles and due to repulsion from protons, their speed decreases.
