    If Thomson's atomic model was correct then it means the atom must be a positively charged sphere and electrons are randomly distributed in it.

    Now in Rutherford's experiment we can see that he bombarded alpha particles towards the nuclei of an atom and then he observed the path of the alpha particles

    Here in that case he will see that 100% of alpha particles will get deflected from it's initial path due to the repulsion of atom which is also to be assumed as positively charged

    So in that case none of the alpha particle will move out undeviating in it's initial path

    So this would be the experimental analysis of Rutherford experiment if whole atomic model presented by Thomson was correct
