Discovery of the electron. Properties: Negatively charged Subatomic mass
Question: What is the structure of the compensating positive charge?
Prominent diffuse-charge model by Thomson
Idea: Use scattering experiments to probe the atomic structure.

A range of “valid-channels” constructed by looking at two std. deviations from the
mean.

Performed α-particle scattering from gold foils.
Excellent agreement to Rutherford cross section. Obtained (χ²/dof = 0.95) χ² prob. = 0.4662 26 instances of back-scattering at 145 degrees.
Thomson model is completely rejected. Obtained (χ²/dof = 99) χ² prob. = 0!Verification of the nuclear
hypothesis
