what conclusion where derived from the results of the a-particle scattering experiment
Answers
Explanation:
Very few of bombarded \alphaα-particles on gold foil were deflected by sharp angles and therefore, it was concluded that the positive charge is concentrated in a very small volume of the atom called nucleus. Since few were deflected, the size of the nucleus is very small as compared with atom size.
Conclusion of Rutherford's α 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.
The alpha particles that were fired at the gold foil were positively charged. ... These experiments led Rutherford to describe the atom as containing mostly empty space, with a very small, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center, which contained most of the mass of the atom, with the electrons orbiting the nucleus
