What is the main feature of Rutherford's atom model?
Asked by Topperlearning User | 04 Apr, 2014, 08:41: AM
answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Rutherford's atom is an electrically neutral sphere consisting of a very small, massive and positively charged nucleus at the centre surrounded by revolving electrons in their respective orbits. The electrostatic force provides the requisite centripetal force.
