Solution
In Rutherford’s Alpha ray scattering experiment, the following conclusions were made from the observations.
- Atom has a very small nucleus at the centre.
- There is a large empty space around the nucleus.
- The entire mass of an atom is concentrated in a very small positively charged region, which is called Nucleus.
- The electrons are distributed in the vacant space around the nucleus.
- The electrons move in circular paths around the nucleus.
