Discovery of the Nucleus

Question 1

Result and conclusion of Rutherford’s experiment for most of the alpha partcles

Answer 1

Most alpha particles passed straight through te gold foil
conc: atom is mostly empty space

Question 2

Result and conclusion of Rutherford’s experiment for few of the alpha partcles

Answer 2

Few alpha particles has a small angle deflectio from their path
conc: atom has positive charge at the centre

Question 3

Result and conclusion of Rutherford’s experiment for very few of the alpha partcles

Answer 3

Very few alpha partices had a large angle deflection / bounced back
conc: small dense mass at the centre of he atom
