Question

At one time, it was thought that positive charge was spread throughout the atom. This was the plum–pudding model. Rutherford's experiment to test this theory involved shooting positively charged particles toward the atom. Describe what the results of this experiment would have been if the plum-pudding model were correct.

Answer 2

No longer need this, I had finished it but thanks for the reply!
