Write the conclusions drawn by Rutherford for the following observations during his $\alpha$-scattering experiment:
$(a)$ Most of the alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil.
$(b)$ Some alpha particles got deflected from their path.
$(c)$ $A$ very small fraction of alpha particles got deflected by $180^{\circ}$.
