Assertion (A) : In Rutherford's experiment, alpha particles from a radium source were allowed to fall on a 10^(-4)mm thick gold foil. Most of the particles passed straight through the foil. Reason (R) : The entire positive charge and nearly whole of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus.
