Q. During the alpha particle scattering experiment of Rutherford, he was expecting the positively charged particle to pass through the atom considering the pudding model of an atom by J.J Thompson. According to Thompson's model the atom is stuffed with positively charged dough, then why did Rutherford not expect the particle to bounce back or get deflected due to the +^veand +^vecontact.....

Please correct if any information stated is incorrect.

Q. In Rutherford atomic model, which of the following particles were used?

Q. How did Rutherford conclude that

α

Q. Statement 1: A large number of alpha particles were deflected in the Rutherford experiment.
Statement 2: Alpha particles that came close to the nucleus were deflected.

We know that the Rutherford model of the atom is superior to the Thompson model because when alpha particles are scattered from atoms:
