Write the conclusions drawn by Rutherford when he observed the following:a. Most of the alpha particles passing straight through the gold foil.b. Some alpha particles getting deflected from their path.c. Very small fraction of alpha particles getting deflected by 180o. |

Answer» Most of the space inside the atom is empty because most of the α-particles passed through the gold foil without getting deflected. Very few particles were deflected from their path, indicating that the positive charge of the atom occupies very little space. 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. |
