Q

What happened in the Alpha Particle Scattering Experiment?

A

A beam of alpha particles were aimed at a piece of thin gold foil and their passage through was detected and observed
Some of the alpha particles emerged from the foil at different angles, and some came straight back
Positively charged alpha particles were repelled and deflected by a small concentration of positively charge in the atom’s nucleus
