How did Rutherford interpret the fact that a few of the a particles were deflected at very large angles? O The a particles were striking the negatively charged electrons in the gold atoms. O The a particles were striking the neutrally charged neutrons in the gold atoms. O The a particles were striking the small, positively charged nucleus of the gold atoms. What differences would Rutherford have observed if he used aluminum foil instead of gold foil? O All of the a particles would have passed through the aluminum foil unobstructed, and no particles would have deflected at a large angle. O Less of the a particles would have passed through the aluminum foil unobstructed, and more would have been deflected at a large angle. O More of the a particles would have passed through the aluminum foil unobstructed, and less would have been deflected at a large angle. O None of the a particles would have passed through the aluminum foil, and all of them would have deflected at a large angle.

Question 3 of 14 In 1910, Ernest Rutherford performed a set of experiments that helped scientists better understand the structure of atoms. He directed a beam of a particles (small, positively charged particles) at a very thin sheet of gold foil. He made several observations from the experiments. How did Rutherford interpret the fact that most of the a particles seemed to pass right through the foil? O Most of the volume of an atom is empty space so the a particles passed unobstructed through the electron clouds of the atoms. The foil was so thin that the a particles were able to pass in between the tiny, solid gold atoms. Gold is malleable so the gold atoms moved out of the way of the a particles and allowed them to pass through. How did Rutherford interpret the fact that a few of the a particles were deflected at very large angles? The a particles were striking the negatively charged electrons in the gold atoms. O The a particles were striking the neutrally charged neutrons in the gold atoms. O The a particles were striking the small, positively charged nucleus of the gold atoms. 3:40 PM SW 79°F 9/8/2021 2020 f12 delete f10 f11 fg DII DDI f7 + f8 144 f6 - f5 & backspace home %23 3 $4 4.
