To find the correct answers to the questions, we can analyze the experiments conducted by Rutherford and Thomson.

1. Which type of metal did Rutherford shoot alpha particles into?
Rutherford conducted the famous gold foil experiment where he shot alpha particles into a thin sheet of metal. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the structure of atoms. By observing how the alpha particles interacted with the metal foil, Rutherford was able to understand the presence of a small, dense, positively charged nucleus within the atom. From this experiment, Rutherford discovered that most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil undeflected, indicating that atoms are mostly empty space. However, a few particles were deflected or bounced back, suggesting the presence of a concentrated positive charge at the center of the atom. Therefore, the answer to this question is C) Gold.

2. When Thomson held a positively charged plate near the cathode ray, the beam bent toward the plate. What conclusion can be drawn from this observation?
This observation refers to Thomson's experiment with cathode rays. He discovered that when a positively charged plate was held near the cathode ray, the beam bent toward the plate, indicating the presence of negatively charged particles within the beam. This experiment led Thomson to propose the existence of subatomic particles called electrons. Therefore, the answer to this question is C) The beam was negatively charged.

3. What was observed during Rutherford's experiment?
During Rutherford's experiment, he observed that most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil undeflected, indicating that atoms are mostly empty space. However, a small fraction of the particles were deflected or bounced back, suggesting that they encountered a concentrated positive charge at the center of the atom, known as the nucleus. The answer to this question is D) Most of the particles went through the foil, but some were deflected.

Therefore, your answers are correct:
1. C) Gold
2. C) The beam was negatively charged
3. D) Most of the particles went through the foil, but some were deflected.
