Answer:
The correct option is E.
Explanation:
When alpha particles beamed at thin metal foil that time most of the particles of alpha pass through the foil with no deflection. This observation defined about two statements:
1) The diameter of the atom compared with the diameter of the nucleus.
2) The mass of an atom compared with the mass of the nucleus.
So, the correct options are:
A: Pass directly through without changing direction.
B: Be slightly diverted by attraction to electrons.
C: Be reflected by direct contact with nuclei.
