In the Rutherford scattering experiment, a beam of alpha particles was fired at a thin gold film and few of the particles were deflected considerably. This shows that the nucleus of an atom
is positively charged and is concentrated in a tiny volume
contains protons and electrons distributed in a tiny volume.
is concentrated in a tiny volume and contains alpha particles.
is distributed in a tiny volume and emits alpha particles.
Correct answer is A
The Rutherford scattering experiment showed that the nucleus of an atom:
is concentrated in a tiny volume and is positively charged.
In the experiment, when alpha particles were fired at a thin gold foil, most of the alpha particles passed straight through, but a few were deflected considerably. This result led Rutherford to conclude that the positive charge of the atom is concentrated in a small, dense nucleus at the center of the atom. The fact that some alpha particles were deflected strongly indicated that there was a positively charged nucleus within the atom. This experiment was crucial in developing our understanding of atomic structure and led to the model of the atom with a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons.
