Vrite the conclusions drawn by Rutherford when he observed the folloMost of the alpha particles passing straight through the gold foilSome alpha particles getting deflected from their path.Very small fraction of alpha particles getting deflected by 1800 |

Answer» Conclusion of Rutherford's scatteringexperiment: 1)Most of the space inside the atom is empty because most of the α-particles passed through the gold foil without getting deflected. 2)Very few particles were deflected from their path, indicating that the positive charge of the atom occupies very little space. 3)A very small fraction of α-particles were deflected by very large angles, indicating that all the positive charge and mass of the gold atom were concentrated in a very small volume within the atom Surprisingly one out of every 12,000 alpha particles appeared to rebound. |
