Rutherford’s Atomic Model NCERT Chemistry Class 11 Online Notes

α-Ray scattering experiment

In this experiment, a stream of α particle from a radioactive source was directed on a thin (about 0.00004 cm thick) piece of gold foil. According to Thomson’s model, it was expected that the alpha particles would just pass straight through the gold foil and could be detected by a photographic plate placed behind the foil. But the actual results of the experiment were quite surprising. It was observed that:

(i) Most of the α-particles passed straight through the gold foil.

(ii) Some of the α-particles were deflected by small angles.

(iii) A few particles were deflected by large angles.

(iv) About 1 in every 12000 particles experienced a rebound.

The results of α-ray scattering experiment were explained by Rutherford in 1911 and another model of the atom was proposed. According to Rutherford’s model, an atom contains a dense and positively charged region located at its centre; it was called as the nucleus, all the positive charge of an atom and most of its mass was contained in the nucleus. The rest of an atom must be empty space which contains the much smaller and negatively charged electrons.

Bhakti Movement NCERT Class 12 History

Bhakti Movement NCERT Class 12 History The Bhakti movement was an effort to achieve salvation and emancipation by devotion to God. In Hindi, the word bhakti refers to fervent devotion to God. This movement, which stressed a single-minded, ardent devotion to God, is seen as the most characteristic act of religious progress during the Middle Ages. In the 12th and 13th centuries, Kabir Das was a key figure in the Bhakti Movement. As a result of the movement, Kabir Das' poems and religious writings attained widespread fame. Kabir Das was raised up by a Muslim family. However, his religious beliefs were influenced by his Hindu teacher Ramananda, who regarded Rama as the highest God. The first Sikh guru and the founder of Sikhism was Guru Nanak. He vehemently opposed prejudice based on customs, rivalry, and caste in religion. Nanak was raised in a Hindu household and from an early age began to exhibit spiritual tendencies. He helped the indigent and underprivileged. His followers began r...
