To solve the problem of finding the fraction of alpha particles that were deflected by more than 1 degree during Rutherford's gold foil experiment, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given data From the Rutherford gold foil experiment, it is known that the fraction of alpha particles that were deflected by more than 1 degree is given as 0.14%. ### Step 2: Convert the percentage to a fraction To convert the percentage into a fraction, we can express 0.14% as: \[ ...

Staements I: In alpha decay of different radioactive nuclides, the energy of alpha particles has been compared. It is found that as the energy of alpha particle increases the half-life of the decay goes on decreasing. Staements II: More is the energy in any decay process, more is the probability of decaying the nuclide which leads to faster rate of decay.
