Q Answer the following question, which help you understand the
difference b/w Thomson's model and Rutherford's model better

Is the probability Of backward scattering (i e , scattering Of
α -particles at angles greater than 90 ° ) predicted by
Thomson's model much less, about the same, or much greater than
that predicted by Rutherford's model?

Explain in detail

Dear Student,
In 
Rutherford's model ,we assumes large massive nucleus core
but in thomson model
we assume small core that is why in Rutherford's model there is
greater probability
of backward scattering in rutherford's scattering
