Question
During Rutherford’s gold foil experiment, it was observed that most of the α-particles did not deflect. However, some showed a deflection of 180°.
What hypothesis was made to justify the deflection of α-particle by 180°?
Solution
The entire +ve charge in the atom is concentrated at its centre, which he called as the nucleus.
