Question

What occurred when rutherford exposed nitrogen gas to alpha particles?

Answer 1

When Rutherford exposed nitrogen gas to alpha particles, some of the alpha particles were absorbed by the nitrogen nuclei.  

A equation for the alpha particle bombardment is as follows:  

¹⁴₇N+⁴₂He---->¹⁷₈O+¹₁H

So, as it can be seen from the equation that some of the alpha particles are absorbed by nitrogen nuclei.

Answer 2

The conversion of one element to another had occurred.
