Explanation
Hint: The Rutherford alpha particle scattering experiment showed that most of the space of the atom is empty
Explanation: The Rutherford alpha particle scattering experiment has the following observation: 1. Most of the alpha particle remains undeflected that means most of the space was empty and the particles came undeflected by positive charges in the atom. It was a very small portion and termed as the nucleus.
2. Some of the alpha particles show a small deviation from the original path.
3. Very few particles bounced backSo, Conclusions can be made from this as;
1. Most of the space in the atom remains empty.
2. And a large amount of mass is concentrated in the small space called a nucleus.
Final answer: The correct answer is $$C$$.
Hint: Rutherford’s alpha-particle scattering experiment proves that the space of an atom is void.
Explanation:
Rutherford’s alpha particle experiment is-
Rutherford passed alpha particles in a gold wire. He observed that most of the alpha particles did not come back and remain undeflected from this he concluded that most of the space of the atom is blank or void.
Few alpha particles come back by getting repulsion from a positively charged nucleus. This proves that the center of an atom contains a positively charged nucleus.
Some alpha particles attract by some force which is electron. Negatively charged electrons attract the positively charged alpha particle. This proves that electrons occupy space around the nucleus.
Final Answer: Correct option $$B$$.
