In view of the Rutherford model of the atom, is the relative penetrating power of natural
radioactivity to be expected? Explain.
Solution
Solution:
In Rutherford's nuclear model of atom entire positive charge and most of the mass are
concentrated in the centre. This central part is termed as nucleus. Electrons carrying negative
charge revolve around the nucleus in orbits.
In view of the Rutherford model of the atom, when alpha particles coming out of a radioactive
material bombard the metal foil, many of the alpha particles pass through the metal because most
of the part in the target atom is empty. It is also observed that radioactive radiations can penetrate
the atoms of different elements and the scattering rate can be low. The reverse is also true by
suitable combinations of radioactive radiations and atoms of different elements.
Therefore, we can say that the relative penetrating power of natural radioactivity is expected. The
alpha particles which collide with the central dense part called nucleus suffer scattering and do
not penetrate the nucleus. The atomic electrons being light do not affect the alpha particles.
