Question
In Rutherford's scattering model, it is shown that : (i) mostly alpha particle passes direct linearly without scattering, (ii) while some scattered by making large angle and some of these after scattering returned back to their path. What is the information obtained from these about atomic structure?

Answer

(i) Maximum part is empty inside the atom.
(ii) Positive charge is conentrated at tiny space (nucleus) in atom.
