Identify the correct statement in the context of Rutherford scattering of \( \alpha \)-particles by a target nucleus:
- A For large impact parameter values, \( \alpha \)-particle suffers large deviation.
- B For small impact parameter values, the deviation in the trajectory of \( \alpha \)-particle is negligible.
- C The perpendicular distance of the initial velocity vector of the \( \alpha \)-particle from the centre of the nucleus is called impact parameter.
- D Impact parameter depends on mass of the target nucleus.

The term vitamin was coined from the word vital +amine since the earlier identified compounds had amino groups.
Later work showed that most of them didn't contain amino groups, so the letter "e" was dropped and ther term vitamin is used these days.
Vitamins are classified into two groups depending upon their solubility in water or fat. Fat soluble vitamins are soluble in fat and oils but insoluble in water. They are stored in liver and adipose (fat storing) tissues. Water-soluble vitamins are soluble in water. They must be supplied regularly in the diet as they are readily excreated in urine.
