Question

question 5
the scientist whose alpha - particle scattering experiment led him to conclude that the nucleus of an atom contains a
dense center of positive charge is
a james chadwick
b ernest rutherford
c lord kelvin
d j.j. thomson
e william thomson

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted the alpha - particle scattering experiment. In this experiment, he bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles. Based on the results (a small fraction of alpha particles were deflected at large angles), he concluded that the atom has a dense, positively - charged nucleus at its center.

Answer:

B. Ernest Rutherford
