Q-What is alpha particle scattering experiment. who did the experiment and what was the conclusion and observation drawn?

[ SPAM = REPORTED ] ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Conclusion of Rutherford's scattering experiment:

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.

Who did the alpha scattering experiment?

Ernest Rutherford

In 1909 Ernest Rutherford designed an experiment to test the plum pudding model. In the experiment, positively charged alpha particles were fired at thin gold foil. Most alpha particles went straight through the foil. But a few were scattered in different directions.

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\pink{αղรաҽɾ}$

The observations made by Rutherford led him to conclude that: A major fraction of the α-particles bombarded towards the gold sheet passed through it without any deflection, and hence most of the space in an atom is empty
