SCIENCE QUESTION WORTH 10 POINTS =)

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 13-08-18] [Hit: ]
Rutherfords GFE used alpha particles... 2 protons + 2 neutrons.........
Hi,
My two questions are:-
1. In Rutherford's gold foil experiment, he shot positive particles through the foil. So shouldn't it have passed instead of being deflected as the atoms nucleus consists of positive protons?

2. In Neil Bohr's hydrogen light experiment, there were only a few colours visible while the white light produced a rainbow of colours through a prism. Why did the hydrogen atom produce only a few colours?

Thanks :)

Rutherford's GFE used alpha particles... 2 protons + 2 neutrons... to bombard a super thin sheet of gold foil 1 atom thick... (let's assume that last part is true)... and "α" means alpha

α α α α α α α α α α α α α α α α α α α α

capice? the space between the nuclei is the region where "electrons" live

"quantum mechanics".

energy levels within an atom are discrete, not continuous. The light was emitted as electrons changed from 1 orbital to another.

nice question though..
