Which outcome occurs when electrons approach an alpha particle?

💡 Explanation

Electron scattering happens because the **Coulomb interaction** deflects the electron. This causes a distortion in the electron's wave function, changing direction rather than generating particle pairs, because the impacting electron doesn't have sufficient energy for new particle creation; therefore, the electron bounces.
