much of an atom's charge (specifically, its positive charge) is concentrated in a relatively tiny volume at the center of the atom, known today as thenucleus. The magnitude of this charge is proportional to (up to a charge number that can be approximately half of) the atom'satomic mass- the remaining mass is now known to be mostly attributed toneutrons. This concentrated central mass and charge is responsible for deflecting both alpha andbetaparticles.
this shows atom has a size!
Thanks and regards.
