Q. The significant result deduced from the Rutherford’s scattering experiment is that

whole of the positive charge is concentrated at the centre of atom

there are neutrons inside the nucleus

$α$ -particles are helium nuclei

electrons are embedded in the atom

electrons are revolving around the nucleus

On the basis of the observations of $α$ particles scattering experiments, Rutherford presented a model of atom, called 'Rutherford's model'. this model, the mass of the atom (leaving the mass of its electrons) and its whole positive charge are concentrated at the centre of the atom.
