Question
The Rutherford's α− particle experiment shows that most of the α− particles pass through the foil almost unscattered, while some are scattered through large angles. What conclusion can be drawn from this, about the structure of atom?

Solution
The correct option is D All of the above
Most of the α− particles pass through the foil almost unscattered. This implies that most of the atom is hollow with its mass is concentrated at its centre.
Also, a few α− particles are deflected through large angles indicating the presence of force of repulsion between the nucleus and α− particles. This, in turn, implies the presence of positive charge in the nucleus.
Hence, (D) is the correct answer.
