When an 
-particle happens to come near a nucleus the intense electric field of these scatters it through a large angle then what is the effect of atomic electrons on 
-particle?
A
Repel 
-particle lightly
-particle lightly
B
Deviate 
-particle from their path
-particle from their path
C
Due to the electron cloud it blocks the path of 
-particle
-particle
D
Do not appreciably effect
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
