MCQ
Rutherford's alpha-particle scattering experiment showed for the first time that an atom has:
  • A
    Electrons
  • B
    Protons
  • C
    A nucleus
  • D
    Neutrons
✓

Answer

  1. A nucleus

Explanation:

Since most of the alpha particles in Rutherford's experiment passed through the atom undeflected, he concluded that most of the space inside an atom is empty.

He also postulated that most of the mass of the atom is limited to a small volume inside the atom, called nucleus.
