which observation did rutherford make as part of his gold foil experiment that was inconsistent with thomsons blueberry muffin model of the atom?
some alpha particles were deflected at various angles.
none of the above.
some alpha particles were not detected after scattering.
most alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil.

Explanation:

Thomson's model suggested a uniform distribution of positive charge. Rutherford's observation of alpha - particle deflection at various angles (indicating a concentrated positive charge, the nucleus) was inconsistent with Thomson's model. The other options ("None of the above", "Some alpha particles were not detected after scattering", "Most alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil") do not directly contradict Thomson's model as significantly as the deflection observation.

Answer:

Some alpha particles were deflected at various angles.
