Rutherford scattering experiment is related to the size of the:

Answer 1

• Ernest Rutherford, a physicist, carried out an experiment called Rutherford's alpha scattering experiment.
• Rutherford's said that the atom is nothing but a small tiny dense mass that has a positively charged body present in the core which is known as the nucleus where the entire mass of the atom is concentrated and around it revolves the negatively charged electrons at a certain distance much like the planets revolving around the sun.
• Rutherford's scattering experiment is related to the size of the nucleus.
• The size of the nucleus is very small as compared to the total size of the atom.
