Question

Rutherford’s scattering experiment led to the discovery of:
A. nucleus
B. presence of neutrons in the nucleus
C. both $\left( 1 \right)$ and $\left( 2 \right)$
D. revolving nature of electrons around the nucleus

Answer 1

Hint:
We know that the Rutherford experiment explains some particles were getting deflected in a large angle, and lastly he determined that there are a bunch of particles present in the center of the atom.

Complete step by step solution
As we know, Rutherford is one of the renowned scientists, and he explains the scattering of particles. By Rutherford's experiment, he describes that the alpha particles which are present in any atom are scattered in a large angle. In this experiment, the scattering of particles is explained with the concept of coulombs interaction between the atoms. He shows that in the middle of the atom, highly dense particles are present in the center of the atom, which is named as the nucleus. So, from the scattering experiment the credit of discovery of the nucleus goes to the scientists named as Rutherford in the year $1911$.

In the nucleus, concentrated charged particles are present, they are proton and neutron. Thus, Rutherford’s scattering experiment led to the discovery of the nucleus in the atom.

Hence, the correct option for this given question is A that is nucleus.

Note:
The nucleus is present in the center of any atom. Generally, it is positively charged and consists of the protons and the neutrons in the center. Usually, it is termed as the atomic nucleus.
