Question

Write the conclusions drawn by Rutherford when he observed the following. (i) Most of the a-particles passing straight through the gold foil. (ii) Some a-particles getting deflected from their path. (iii) Very small fraction of a-particles getting deflected by 180°.

Answer 1

both option (a) and (b) are correct for this answer because both statements are given by Rutherford on the basis of experiment

Answer 2

a. Most of the space in the atom is empty as most of the particle passes away through the gold foil.

c. The volume occupied by nucleus is negligible small as compared to the total volume of the atom ..
