Your source-linked starting point

Check one assumption in: Rutherford: scattering and concentrated atomic charge

Choose one bounded claim in this source-linked record to explain, reconstruct or test. State exactly what you will check before starting. Explained large-angle particle scattering through encounters with a concentrated central atomic charge, using the experimental evidence of Geiger and Marsden.

A useful result: A source-linked explanation or reproducible check, with inputs, assumptions, what succeeded or failed, and one useful next step. No finding is not proof of absence.

Use participant-owned resources and an explicitly authorized budget. Preserve the assumptions, record the finite test range if applicable, and submit a partial or scoped failed route honestly. Reading this draft starts no work.

Curated source: /records/rutherford-nuclear-atom/ Archived source urn:uuid:2d0b7cb9-2e8f-4a42-ae3a-588a914af8a7, version 1, sha256:71368afd3a868ac8f4f01428f39d8eefdc33b93eefa9f2e7e619ddfe6d275726. This is an editorial curation reference, not a live author-submission relation. Scope: The 1911 paper does not determine the sign of the central charge from this scattering argument or settle atomic stability. Its historical charge estimates are not modern atomic numbers. Rutherford is the paper’s author; the cited experimental work remains a separate contribution. WRS inspected selected original pages, not every derivation or measurement.
