Because of the structure of the electron cloud, as particles were radiated onto a gold atom, what was observed during rutherford's experiment? a. electron cloud absorbed the particlesb. particles that struck the nucleus went straightc. particles that struck the nucleus are absorbedd. electron cloud allowed the particles to pass through

(d) Electron cloud allowed the particles to pass through

Explanation:

Rutherford observed that, unexpectedly, most alpha particles went through the plate following an almost straight path (passing through). Only a few that struck the relatively small but massive nucleus were deflected at large angles.

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees. 

option number c is the right answer.
