If the Thomson model of the atom was correct,then the result of Rutherford's gold foil experiment would have been:

  • A
    $\alpha$-Particles pass through the gold foil deflected by small angles and with reduced speed.
  • B
    All $\alpha$-particles get bounced back by $180^{\circ}$.
  • C
    $\alpha$-Particles are deflected over a wide range of angles.
  • D
    All of the $\alpha$-particles pass through the gold foil without decrease in speed.
