Atoms consist of a positively charged nucleus is obviously from the following observation of Geiger-Marsden experiment

A

most of `alpha`-particles do not pass straight through the gold foil

B

many of `alpha`-particles are scattered through acute angles

C

very large number of `alpha`-particles are defeated by large angles

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Correct option is 'd' as most of `alpha`-particles pass straight through, few are deflected at small angles and very few are deflected by larger angles.
