1.	During the Rutherfore.s alpha-particle scattering experiment
Answer» Distance of closest approach is of the ORDER of `10^(14)m` At the distance of closest approach, the kinetic energy of the `alpha`-particle is transformed into electrostatic potential The `alpha`-particles MOVING towards the nucleus will stop and start RETRACING its PATH Maximum number of `alpha`-particles went STRAIGHT through metal foil Answer :A::B::C::D
