Rutherfords alpha particle scattering experiment concluded that:
- A. mass and energy are related
- B. electrons occupy space around the nucleus
- C. neutrons are buried deep in the nucleus
- D. the point of impact with matter can be precisely determined
Step-by-step solution
Rutherford's alpha scattering experiment showed that most alpha particles passed through the gold foil with little deflection, but some were deflected at large angles, indicating a small, dense, positively charged nucleus. The fact that most particles passed through implied that the atom is mostly empty space, with electrons occupying the space around the nucleus, leading to the nuclear model of the atom.
