Which activity best demonstrates Ernest Rutherford's creativity?A. questioning the correctness of the plum pudding modelB. designing an experiment to test the plum pudding modelC. making observations about the gold foil experimentD. summarizing the conclusions from the gold foil experiment as a theory

Respuesta :

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Of the following activity best demonstrates the creativity of Rutherford: is making observations about the gold foil experiment.  

Rutherford's Gold Foil Test confirmed the existence of a thin, enormous atom core that would later be recognized as an atom's nucleus. To examine the effect of alpha particles on material, Ernest Rutherford, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden conducted their Gold Foil Experiment.

Answer:

Its B on edge

Explanation:

Rutherford demonstrate that J.J Thompson's Plum Pudding model was not accurate, but before testing, he thought that plum pudding model is correct.

Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles (helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons).  

Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film and notice that most of alpha particles passed straight through foil.

That is different from Plum Pudding model, because it shows that most of the atom is empty space.

Therefor, the answer is B:)
