Name three feature of rutherford's model

 

The major features of the Rutherford atomic model are as follows:

·  All protons are present inside the nucleus, which is situated at the centre of the atom.

·  Electrons reside outside the nucleus and revolve around the nucleus in well-defined orbits.

·  The size of the nucleus is very small in comparison to the size of an atom. As per Rutherford’s calculations, the size of the  nucleus is 10⁵ times smaller than an atom.

·  As the mass of the electron is negligible in comparison to the mass of the proton, almost all the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus.
