In Rutherford's scattering experiment, which of the following does not happen?

A

Most of the `alpha`-rays pass through without deflection.

B

A few `alpha`-particles pass through the nucleus.

C

A few `alpha`-particles are deflected back.

D

`alpha`-particles going near the nucleus are slightly deflected.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`alpha`-particles does not pass through the nucleus because the nucleus is heavy.
