The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding Rutherford's alpha particle dispersion experiment, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Experiment**: Rutherford conducted an experiment where he directed alpha particles at a thin foil of gold. He observed how these particles scattered after hitting the foil. 2. **Analyze the Results**: The majority of the alpha particles passed through the foil with little to no deflection, while a small fraction were deflected at large angles, and some even bounced back. 3. **Draw Conclusions**: From these observations, Rutherford concluded that: - Atoms are mostly empty space since most alpha particles passed through without deflection. - There is a small, dense, positively charged center in the atom (which he called the nucleus) that caused the deflections of some alpha particles. 4. **Final Conclusion**: The conclusion of Rutherford's experiment is that all positive charge in an atom is concentrated in a small part of the atom, specifically in the nucleus. 5. **Select the Correct Option**: Based on the conclusion, we can identify the correct option from the given choices that states that all positive charge is concentrated in a small part (the nucleus) of the atom. ### Final Answer: The correct conclusion from Rutherford's alpha particle dispersion experiment is that all positive charge inside an atom is concentrated in a small part, specifically in the nucleus. ---
