Solution
The correct option is A pass undeflected
Explanation:
Rutherford's model was one of the most successful models for the arrangement of electrons, protons, and neutrons in an atom.
Observation of Rutherford's experiment:
- In Rutherford's experiment, most of the alpha rays pass undeflected which means there is a lot of empty space in an atom.
- Few alpha rays are deflected with small-angle which means the positive charge is not uniformly distributed.
- Very few bounce back with 180oC angle. So, the volume occupied by the positive charge is very small.
Hence, option (A) is correct.
