2. If a tiny particle is shot into the middle of an atom, it hits something dense in the center
and bounces back in the direction it came from. If a tiny particle is shot into the edges of
the atom, it goes throligh. Most tiny particles shot at an atom will go through.
(Rutherford, 1911). Compare models A and D. Which model supports this evidence?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Though the models were not shown pictorially in the question, the model that was described in the question is Rutherford's model of the atom.

The dense matter at the middle of the atom is called the nucleus of the atom. Particles rebounded because of repulsion between the positively charged nucleus and the bombarding alpha particles. The nucleus have a smaller radius than the atom itself hence most particles go through.

Rutherford's model is also known as the nuclear model of the atom.
