Question

Rutherford&#8217;s experiments on scattering of alpha particles proved that:a)atoms contain electronsb)number of positive charges is equal to the number of negative chargesc)atom is mostly emptyd)positive charge is uniformly distributed in the atomCorrect answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer

While conducting the experiment He noticed that most of the α-particles passed through the foil undeflected, while some deflected at very large angles.
This exp proved that' most of the space in the atom is EMPTY 'and the positive charge is concentrated into a small space called nucleus...
Thus c is the ans...

Answer

Most of the α-particle passed through the foil straight without suffering any change in their direction. This shows that most of the space inside the atom is empty or hollow.
A small fraction of α-particles was deflected through small angles and a few through larger angles. For this to happen α- particles (positively charged) must approach a heavy positively charged core inside the atom (like charges repel each other). This heavy positively charged core inside the atom was named as the nucleus.

Answer

As we know that in vacuum their are luminiferus ether particles are present ,when we incidence any ray or light through vacuum the ray disturb the ether particle and hence the ether particle provide his won wavelets ,which are known as primary wavelets, and hence process is gone forward

Answer

By this experiment he show most of the space is empty in an atom positive charge concentrated in the centre which is nucleus and electron posses negative charge revolving around nucleus
