When atoms are bombarded with alpha particles,only a few in a million suffer deflection,while others pass through undeflected. This is because:
- AThe force of repulsion on the moving alpha particle is small.
- BThe force of attraction on the alpha particle to the oppositely charged electrons is very small.
- CThere is only one nucleus and a large number of electrons.
- DThe nucleus occupies a much smaller volume compared to the volume of the atom.
