Question

What conclusion was drawn by Rutherford based on Geiger-Marsden's experiment on scattering of alpha particles?

Answer 1

Conclusion made by Rutherford are:

$\left(1\right)$ Atom is hollow from inside,

$\left(2\right)$ The whole of the positive charge of atom must be concentrated in a very small space,

$\left(3\right)$ The positive charge in the atom is concentrated in an extremely small space at the centre of an atom. This space is called nucleus,

$\left(4\right)$ Coulomb's law holds for atomic distances also.
