IN Rutherfords gold foil experiment as most of alpha-particles follow straight path without deviation showing atom has most of empty space,so why some of them are not attracted towards orbiting electrons around nucleus?

there is no such things that electrons are revolving around the nucleaus , the atomic model that we are studying right now is just an assumption , no practical proof , still its under construction . 
as rutherfords m,odel already been disqualified . we cannot commnet anything about it . 
its just an experiment , nothing else . 
and its not been attracted beacuse there will be distance between the alpha particle and the atoms , so, alpha particle also have some range . 
HOPE IT CLEARS ..

Electrons are fast moving particles.On that speeds nothing can attract them .As they go nearly light speed(~3×10^8) .This may help you.All the best
