Rutherford's alpha particle scattering experiment eventually led to the conclusion that[IIT 1986; RPMT 2002] (a) Mass and energy are related (b) Electrons occupy space around the nucleus (c) Neutrons are buried deep in the nucleus (d) The point of impact with matter can be precisely determined
Correct option is B) According to Rutherford's model, the electrons revolve around positively charged core or in other words, negatively charged electrons occupy space around the nucleus and the atom is electrically neutral.
