Describe Rutherford's atomic model.
(N/A) On the basis of his observations and conclusions,Rutherford proposed the nuclear model of the atom. According to this model:
$(i)$ The positive charge and most of the mass of the atom are densely concentrated in an extremely small region,which Rutherford called the nucleus.
$(ii)$ The nucleus is surrounded by electrons that move around it at very high speeds in circular paths called orbits.
$(iii)$ Rutherford's model resembles the solar system,where the nucleus acts like the sun and the electrons act like the revolving planets.
$(iv)$ Electrons and the nucleus are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction.

View SolutionThe hydrogen spectrum consists of several spectral lines in the Lyman series ($L_1, L_2, L_3 \ldots$; $L_1$ has the lowest energy among the Lyman series). Similarly, it consists of several spectral lines in the Balmer series ($B_1, B_2, B_3 \ldots$; $B_1$ has the lowest energy among the Balmer lines). The energy of $L_1$ is $x$ times the energy of $B_1$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . $\times 10^{-1}$ (Nearest integer).
