1.
Deviations from the Rutherford formula for high-energy alpha particles occur because
alpha particles lose their charge
the strong nuclear force acts
electrons become important
gold melts
2.
Electrons are used to measure nuclear radii because they
are heavier than alpha particles
are positive
do not feel the strong force
have no wavelength
3.
Electron diffraction by a nucleus gives its radius via the
intensity of the central maximum
energy of the electrons
position of the first minimum
charge of the nucleus
4.
Deep inelastic scattering showed that
protons contain quarks
electrons are composite
alpha particles have charge
neutrons are positive
5.
The Rutherford scattering formula assumes the target
is light
has no charge
is a negative ion
is heavy and stays fixed
6.
For a given target, increasing the alpha particle energy brings it
further from the nucleus
closer to the nucleus
to a halt at greater distance
no closer
