Question

25. (a) Enlist the Conclusions drawn by Rutherford's form his a-ray scattering Experiment.

Answer 1

Answer:

• The atom is composed of mostly empty space (as few alpha particles were deflected in his experiment, and most went directly through the foil).
• After observing a small number of alpha particles being deflected, some at odd angles, Rutherford concluded that in the center of an atom, there is an extremely small, incredibly dense, positively-charged mass (which was named the nucleus).
