How did Rutherford’s discovery help explain why there was no beam of positively charged particles going from the positive to the negative plate?

Sagot :

Rutherford's model showed that the positive charges in the atom were located at the center of the atom.

The plum-pudding model of J.J Thompson depicted the atom as a sphere of positive charges into which negative charges were embedded. However, positively charged particles going from the positive to the negative plate were not observed.

This was explained by Rutherford's discovery that protons(positively charged particles) were found in the nucleus at the center of the atom while electrons are found to move round this nucleus hence they are more accessible.
