This image shows a stream of positively charged particles being directed at gold foil. The positively charged particles are called "alpha particles” and each one is like a nucleus without any electrons.

Question illustration
A
Alpha particles are mostly empty space, so they move in random directions, and one of these alpha particles can strike point X.
B
The gold atoms contain negative electrons, so when alpha particles strike the gold they keep moving but in various directions.
C
If an alpha particle hits the gold foil, a gold nucleus splits and a particle from it flies out at point X.
D
When the dense, positive alpha particle passes close to a positive nucleus of gold, the alpha particle repels and hits the screen at point X.
