B. the negative charge of the alpha particles and the positive charge of the gold foil

C. the positive charge of the alpha particles and the negative charge of the electrons

D. the positive charge of the electrons in a uniform negative charge

Answer 1

well, since alphas are positive, and electrons are negative, I'd have to say (C).
