Q.
Statement I: Rutherford in his experiment observed that, most of the alpha particles passed straight through a thin sheet of gold foil.
Statement II: Most of the space inside the atom is empty.
Q.
Most of the
α
- particles passed straight through the gold foil. This proved the existence of empty space in an atom. If it is true enter 1 and if false then enter 0.

Which of the above observation is/are not correctly matched with its conclusion?
Q.
State True or False for following statement:
Rutherford's
α
-particle scattering experiment gives the experimental evidence for deriving the conclusion that most of the space inside the atom is empty.
Q.
In Rutherford's experiment,
(I) gold foil was selected.
(II) fast moving
α
-particles were made to fall on the foil.
(III) most of the
α
-particles were deflected by the foil by small angles.
