In Rutherford’s scattering experiment, choose the correct statements are given below.I. Only α-particles are scattered backwards but not protons.II. α-particles cannot be effectively scattered by electrons because α-particles are positively charged.III. Radius nucleus of target is between 9.6 x 10-15 m to 4.8 x 10-15 m.IV. α-particles with energy greater than a certain critical value are not scattered back.(a) Only statement II is correct(b) Only statement III is correct(c) Statements I, III and IV are correct(d) All statements are correct

Answer»

Answer is : (c) Statements I, III and IV are correct

Electrons are not effective in scattering α-particles because they are about 7000 times lighter than α-particles.
