Why alfa particles do not get attracted by the electrons present in the atom when gold foil is bambarded by positively charged helium ions?

They do get attracted, but their momentum is too high to be "captured" by the electrons.

What two particles are attracted to each other?
Typically, the two particles that are attracted to each other are protons and electrons.
What subatomic particles are electrons attracted to?
The electron has a negative charge, so it would attract and be attracted by particles of opposite/unlike charge (positive charge) such as protons.
Why cathode ray bent toward the possitively charge plate?
electrons are not bent, they can't be as they are point particles occupying no volume. they are attracted to positive charges. the electron beam (aka cathode rays) are bent toward the positively charged plate.
What are the three types of charges that particles can have?
Positive, Neutral, or Negative Positively charged particles are protons Negatively charged particles are electrons Neutrally charged or no charge particles are neutrons
Why is an alpha particle attracted to a negative plate?
Alpha particles are deflected towards negative plates because they are positively charged.
Beta particles are attracted by atomic nuclei because?
Beta particles are electrons. Electrons have a negative charge. Nuclei are protons, with a positive charge, and neutrons, with no charge; thus the nucleus is positively charged. Positively charged particles are attracted to negatively charged particles, and vice versa.
Why do the electrons surround the atom?
Electrons are electrically-charged particles. Specifically, they carry a negative charge. Electrons are attracted to the nucleus which contains positively charged protons.
Are electrons particles that are positively charge?
No, Electrons are negatively charged.
Why does an atom stay together?
opposites attract. the particles are attracted to the positively charged particles.
Are electrons repelled by the nucleus?
Yes, because an electron is negatively charged, and opposite charges repel.
Why did Rutherford use alpha particles rather than electrons for his scattering experenment?
Because the alpha particles are positively charged. In order for the experiment to work, the positive alpha particles must be attracted to the negatively charged gold foil.
Are electrons the positively charged particles in an atom?
In an atom of antimatter, that would be true, in an atom of matter that would be false.
Why in a covalent bond are the particles attracted to one another?
The particles in a covalent bond are attracted to one another because positively charged and negatively charged particles are drawn together.
What two particles are attracted to each other?
Typically, the two particles that are attracted to each other are protons and electrons.
What subatomic particles are electrons attracted to?
The electron has a negative charge, so it would attract and be attracted by particles of opposite/unlike charge (positive charge) such as protons.
What are positively charged particles in an atom called?
Positively charged particles in an atom are called protons.
Are electrons positively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom?
No, they are not. They are negative.
