2. The observations were:

(i)Most of the fast moving α-particles  passed straight through the gold foil.

(ii) Some of the α-particles were deflected  by the foil by small angles.

(iii) Surprisingly one out of every 12000  particles appeared to rebound.

Rutherford  concluded from the α-particle scattering  experiment that–

(i) Most of the space inside the atom is  empty because most of the α-particles  passed through the gold foil without  getting deflected.

(ii) Very few particles were deflected from  their path, indicating that the positive  charge of the atom occupies very little  space.

(iii) A very small fraction of α-particles were deflected by 1800,indicating that  all the positive charge and mass of the  gold atom were concentrated in a very  small volume within the atom.

3. The revolution of the electron in a circular orbit  is not expected to be stable. Any particle in a  circular orbit would undergo acceleration.  During acceleration, charged particles would  radiate energy. Thus, the revolving electron  would lose energy and finally fall into the  nucleus. If this were so, the atom should be  highly unstable and hence matter would not  exist in the form that we know. We know that  atoms are quite stable.
