Many classic experiments have given us indirect evidence of the nature of the atom. Which of the experiments listed below did not give the results described?
The Rutherford experiment proved the Thomson “plum-pudding” model of the atom to be essentially correct.
The Rutherford experiment was useful in determining the nuclear charge on the atom.
Milikan’s oil-drop experiment showed that the charge on any particle was a simple multiple of the charge on the electron.
The electric discharge tube proved that electrons have a negative charge
