Solution
Graph showing the variation of the number of particles scattered (N) with the scattering angle (θ):
The strongly repulsive force exerted by the positively charged nucleus causes the scattering of α-particles at θ > 90°. Because the nucleus is so small, there are fewer distributed α-particles.
