Chemistry · Bohr model of a hydrogen atom: its postulates, derivation of the relations for the energy of the electron and radii of the different orbits, limitations of Bohr's model
Which of following was not explained by Rutherford?
Which of following was not explained by Rutherford?
- A. Arrangement of electrons around the nucleus
- B. Arrangement of protons
- C. Arrangement of nuetrons
- D. None of the above
Step-by-step solution
Rutherford's gold foil experiment led to the nuclear model, which proposed a small, dense, positively charged nucleus (containing protons) and electrons orbiting around it. However, neutrons were not known at that time; they were discovered later by James Chadwick. Therefore, Rutherford did not explain the arrangement of neutrons.
