Question

Give three observations from Rutherford’s alpha-scattering experiment.
​

Answer 1

Three observations Rutherford made in the gold foil experiment are:

• Almost all the alpha particles did pass through the foil.
• Some alpha particles were deflected off at different angles as observed at the screen of the detector.
• Very few of the alpha particles (one or two) even bounced backwards after hitting the gold foil.
