Rutherford's gold leaf experiment, most of According to the Rutherford's atomic model, the electrons inside the atom are:

  • Stationary

  • Centralized

  • Moving

None of these particles passed through the foil, because most of the space inside the atom is empty and the entire positive charge and nearly all of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus.

  • Most of the particles passed either undeviated or with very small deviation.

  • Some deviated by large angles

  • 1 out of 8000 was deflected by more than 90°

  • Most of the space of an atom is empty.

  • At the centre of an atom having a tiny positively charged particle called a nucleus.

  • The centre nucleus has all the mass of an atom.

  • The amount of positive charge at the nucleus is equal to the total amount of negative charge on all the electrons of the atom.

Hence, option A is correct.
