Answer and explanation;

  • Thomson used cathode rays which enabled to develop the so called "plum pudding" model.  in this model,Thomson concluded that an atom of any matter was composed of electrons that were surrounded by positively charge sphere to balance the negative charges.
  • Rutherford's gold foil experiment disapproved the plum pudding model Rutherford stated that Thomson's theory was not correct. The result of his experiment contradicted the plum-pudding model of the atom, this is due to the fact that  the plum pudding model did not explain why alpha particles were deflected.

Therefore, to answer our question; If Thomson's model was accurate it would have predicted the gold foil experiment deflection to be minimal. However, the large deflection of the alpha particles was evident in the experiment, which led to the development of Rutherford's planetary model.

If the Thomson’s atomic theory was accurate, most of the alpha particles will not be scattered through large angles as observed.

Rutherford's experiment

The experiment of Rutherford had to do with the bombardment of a gold foil with alpha particles. Now we know the the alpha particles were mostly deflated through large angles indicating the presence of a large positive core.

If the Thomson’s atomic theory was accurate, most of the alpha particles will not be scattered through large angles as observed.
