Dear Gayathri,
 
If something is moving and if it is subjected to a sideways force, instead of moving in a straight line, it will move in a curve - deflected out of its original path by the sideways force.
The amount of deflection  for a given sideways force depends on the mass of the object. The heavier the object, the lesser is the deflection.
As the alpha particles are heavier, hence they deflect to a  lesser extent than the other particles.
