Rutherford’s Model Day 3
2
Comparisons to the solar system How did Rutherford’s model support or object to the view that the atom was like the solar system? Discussion
3
Rutherford’s Model Small, dense, positively charged nucleus Electron’s orbiting around- like planets around the sun – No real changes to the science of electrons since the gold foil experiment didn’t provide much to go on
4
Electron-planets According to this theory- electrons would be the planets, is there anything wrong with that? The problem is that these “planets” would soon collapse into the nucleus
5
The problem Electrons would be moving in a circle- this implies centripetal acceleration. And accelerating charges radiate energy- effectively losing energy Less energy implies a smaller velocity and smaller radius, the electron spirals into the nucleus
