In an experiment to determine the structure of an atom, Rutherford bombarded positively charged alpha particles to the atoms of a gold foil and observed the following: (a) Most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil without suffering any deflection. (b) Very few particles rebounded completely on hitting the gold, foil. What is the interpretation of each of the observations?
