Rutherford’s experiment on the scattering of -particles showed for the first time that the atom has

According to the conclusions of Rutherford’s -scattering experiment,most of the atom is empty. So, the -particles go across undeflected. The positive charge is concentrated in a very small space in the atom, which deflected the positively charged -particles. This small and positively charged heavy centre is called the nucleus. -particles that happen to travel in line with the nucleus get deflected by
