Question:
In what way is the Rutherfords atomic model different from Thomsons atomic model?
Solution:
According to Thomsons model, an atom may be regarded as a positively charged sphere containing protons in which the negatively charged protons are supposed to be studied or embedded. He gave no clue about the nucleus and extranuclear portion. This was given for the first time by Rutherfords model atom with the help of a-ray scattering experiment.
