Question
Rutherford′s α-particle scattering experiment eventually led to thje conclusion that :
Options
A.mass and energy are related
B.electrons occupy space around the nucleus
C.neutrons are burried deep in the nucles
D.the point of impact with matter can be precisely determined
Solution
Because most of the α-particles remain un-scattered,so Rutherford concluded that most of the atom is hollow and extra nuclear part is occupied by the electrons.
