Question

What observations in a scattering experiment led Rutherford to make the following observations: -
i) Most of the space in an atom is empty.
ii) Nucleus is positively charged.
iii) whole mass of an atom is concentrated in its centre.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer. 1. He observed that most of the alpha rays that were passed through the thin gold foil passed through it without showing any deflection which led him to the conclusion that most of the space in an atom is empty.

answer 2 - The few alpha rays that hit the nucleus bounce back of deflected through large angles which led him to the conclusion that the centre of the atom where the whole mass of the atom is concentrated is positively charged. please mark as brainliest..
