The Rutherford gold foil experiment is also known as the Geiger-Marsden experiments. In them, alpha particle scattering was measured, and showed how a large focus was found in such a way as to describe atoms having a dense nucleus. This experiment is not used for much today in any field other than focused particle physics, wherein it is the basis of most other calculations involving how atoms work.

In Rutherfords gold foil experiment particles in dense atomic nuclei caused some alpha particles to bounce straight back from the gold foil.?
positive
What did Rutherfords gold foil experiment help him conclude?
That the mass of an atom is mostly located in a small nucleus.
What did ernest rutherfords gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms?
The conclusion was that an atom has a nucleus (center) with a positive charge.
What experiment convinced Ernest Rutherford that the atom has a small positivity charged nucleus?
th gold foil experiment
Why was gold the chosen target for rutherfords experiment?
I assume that is because gold can be formed into an extremely thin sheet.
What materials are needed for rutherfords gold foil experiment?
gold foil.
Was Rutherfords theory tested and published?
yes it was tested by the gold foil experiment

What contribution to atomic theory was made by Geiger and Marsden in their gold foil experiment?
was wandering the smae thing but i think they just developed rutherfords theory by doing the gold foil experiment in depth

How did Rutherfords gold foil experiment tell scientists about the atomic structure?
That atoms have a positively charged nucleus.
What did Ernest Rutherfords gold foil experiment demonstrate about an atom?
The conclusion was that an atom has a nucleus (center) with a positive charge.
What did rutherfords gold foil experiment demonstrate?
It demonstrated that there is positively charged nucleus and the atom is mostly empty spaced.
What did ernest rutherfords gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms?
The conclusion was that an atom has a nucleus (center) with a positive charge.
Will you consider rutherfords gold foil experiment important?
Yes - it showed that atoms have a small but massive nucleus, with a positive charge - i.e., what we today know as protons. (Neutrons were discovered later.)
