When the atoms of gold sheet are bombarded with a beam of -particles, only a few alpha-particles get deflected where as most of them go straight undeflected. This is because:
| 1. | The force of attraction on the -particles by the oppositely charged electron is not sufficient. |
| 2. | The nucleus occupies much smaller volume as compared to the volume of atom. |
| 3. | The force of repulsion on fast moving -particles is very small. |
| 4. | The neutrons in the nucleus do not have any effect on -particles. |
