What did Rutherford and Marsden discover from the results of their scattering experiment?

The element used by Rutherford duringhis a-scattering experiment.

Rutherford wrote that the main deductoins from the theory are independent of whether the central charge is positive or negative. Discuss why the observations did not allow Rutherford to conlude whether thecentral charge is positive or negative.

Use the evidence described to explainwhy Rutherford concluded that:a an atom contains a lot of spaceb there is a central area of positive charge.

In Rutherford experiment a small fraction of  α -particles are scattered at small angle becauseSelect an answerA α  -particles are attracted by a negatively charged particleB α  -particles are pushed towards the heavy nuclear regionC α  -particles are repelled by positively charges regionD α  -particles are attracted by positively charged region
