Rutherford’s ‘alpha (α) particles scattering experiment’ resulted in to discovery of- Electron
- Proton
- Nucleus in the atom
- Atomic mass
Correct Answer: (c) Nucleus in the atom
Explanation:  According to the Rutherford atomic model the positively charged particles and most of the mass of an atom was concentrated in an extremely small volume. He called this region as the atom a nucleus.
