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

Assertion (A): Some alpha particles were seen to be deflected through small and large angles in the alpha particle scattering experiment.Reason (R): The atom contains a lot of empty space.

In Rutherford's experiment, the outcomes areA. By classical electrodynamics, the atoms will not be stable while radiating photonB. All incident alpha particles scattered only less than 5 degreesC. Electrons revolve around the nucleusD. There is a nucleus at the center

What did Rutherford and Marsden discover from the results of their scattering experiment?The positive charge is spread out across the atomThe negative charge is concentrated in the centre of the atomNeutrons have no chargeThe positive charge is concentrated in the centre of the atom

In Rutherford's famous experiment, he shot heavy, fast moving, positive alpha particles at a thin gold foil. Based on Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom, what did Rutherford expect to happen, and why? All the alpha particles would be deflected by the foil because of the even distribution of mass and charge throughout the atom. All the alpha particles would pass straight through the foil because of the even distribution of mass and charge throughout the atom. Most of the alpha particles would become embedded in the foil because they are attracted to the negative electrons in the atom. Some of the alpha particles would be deflected and some would pass through because of the negative charge of the electron cloud.
