What would rutherford find if he used electrons in his alpha particle scattering experiment ?
If he used electrons in his alpha particle scattering experiment in place of alpha particles, the electrons got deflected towards the center of the atom and even no single electron would come back on moving in a straight line joining the center of the atom and the electron, and in other directions also, no electron would be found deflecting outside from the atom till the atom got over-crowded with electrons. Thus, the beam got disappeared in the foil. This would still lead Rutherford to Conclude that there is something ‘Nucleus’ with positive charge at the center of the atom which is attracting negative charge and not allowing the negative charge to leave the atom. When electrons got overcrowded in the atom, they will start repelling each other as well as the new incoming electrons. When this repelling force becomes greater than that of nucleus, only then the electrons can deflect towards outside the atom cancelling the attraction force of nucleus. So, in this way he could have found H
