When B- particles are sent through a thin metal foil, most of them go straight through the foil as:
Correct answer: C. Most part of the atom is empty space
- A. B- particles are much heavier than electrons
- B. B- particles are positively charged
- C. Most part of the atom is empty space
- D. B- particles move with high velocity
Explanation
They pass through tin metal foil because most space of the atom is empty, explained by Rutherford in his gold foil experiment.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
