Write three observations of Rutherford's alpha particles scattering experiment.
(N/A) In the alpha particles scattering experiment,Rutherford bombarded a thin gold foil with fast moving alpha particles and observed that:
$(i)$ Most of the $\alpha$-particles passed straight through the gold foil.
$(ii)$ Some of the $\alpha$-particles were deflected by the foil through small angles.
$(iii)$ One out of every $12,000$ particles appeared to rebound.

View SolutionIn the Gold foil experiment of Geiger and Marsden,which paved the way for Rutherford's model of an atom,$\sim 1.00\%$ of the $\alpha$-particles were found to deflect at angles $> 50^o$. If one mole of $\alpha$-particles were bombarded on the gold foil,compute the number of $\alpha$-particles that would deflect at angles less than $50^o$.
