Taylor and Michael

Associates: Your assigned atomic model is: Rutherford Hello Taylor, my name is Michael Webb and I plan to have a wonderful time on this project. Im from Laguna Beach, California. Also I am not skilled with computers.Im just j/k ing you, I am a beast on computers.

The planetary model,or the Rutherford model,is a model of an atom created by Earnest Rutherford. Rutherford described his model as a tiny, dense, positively charged core nucleus,which nearly all the mass is concentrated. The Rutherford atomic model has been usually called the nuclear atom, or the planetary model. The nucleus was veiwed as small and dense to account for the scattering of alpha particles from thin gold foil, as observed in a series of experiments performed under Rutherford's direction.

Hey Michael my name is Taylor. I live in Honolulu, Hawaii. i am excited about this project it is goin to be awsome hopefully. we are goin to make a model and it probally wont be that hard:]] ttyl.

i am glad you are a beast at the computer.jk.:]]

<--this is what we are doin lol...

Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his famous gold-foil experiment, in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny, massive nucleus (see ). Five years earlier Rutherford had noticed that alpha particles beamed through a hole onto a photographic plate would make a sharp-edged.
