Question

What was observed during Rutherford's experiment?

All of the particles were deflected.

All of the particles went through the foil undeflected.

The particles were absorbed by the foil.

Most of the particles went through the foil, but some were deflected.

Answer 1

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. Most of the particles went through the foil, but some were deflected. This proved that atom has mostly empty space,there is positively charged nucleas at the centre of the atom and the electrons revolve round the neucleus at large distances from it in circular orbits.
