| Q.6 | Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? Rutherford’s famous α–particle scattering experiment, it was observed and concluded that : | |
| Ans | 1. a small fraction of the α–particles was deflected by small angles. | |
| 2. most of the α–particles passed through the gold foil undeflected. | ||
| 3. a very few α–particles (∼1 in 20,000)bounced back, that is, were deflected by nearly 180°. | ||
| 4. Most of the space in the atom is not empty as most of the α–particles passed through the foil undeflected. |
Correct Ans: 4
