When a gold sheet is bombarded by a beam of α-particles, only a few of
them get deflected whereas most go straight, undeflected. This is because

- B.a nucleus has a much smaller volume than that of an atom
- C.the force of repulsion acting on the fast-moving -particles is very small
- D.the neutrons in the nucleus do not have any effect on the -particles
