Under the guidence of Rutherford, what particle did Geiger & Marsden fire at gold foil?

• Neutron

• Alpha

• Proton

• Electron

Proposed that the atom had a dense positively charge center which was extremely small but consisted of mostly empty space.

• Ernest Rutherford
• J.J Thomson
• Robert Millikan
• John Dalton

With which nuclei does alpha particle is like?

• Hydrogen nuclei

• Helium nuclei

• Carbon Nuclei

• Aluminium nuclei

In Rutherford experiment, a very few alpha particle is bounce back. What does this statement means!

• The atom consisted of positively charge particle called proton which cover all of the atom while very small part of it is electron

• The atom hits a very dense part of atom which very small later called nucleus

• An atom consisted of negatively charge particle called electron which surround the nucleus

• Atom consisted mostly dense part
