When alpha particles are sent through a thin metal foil, most of them go straight through the foil because :
Options
A.alpha particles are much haveier than electrons
B.alpha particles are positively chargrd
C.most part of the atom is empty space
D.alpha particle move with high velocity
Solution
Most of the α-particless pass through atom and it concludes that most of the atom is empty
