positive
The scattering experiment of E. Rutherford and his team lead to the disvovery of the proton and to a new atomic model. Alpha particles colliding an atom are scattered by the positive atomic nucleus containing protons.
Rutherford proved it it from his alpha-particle scattering experiment.
Because the alpha particles are positively charged. In order for the experiment to work, the positive alpha particles must be attracted to the negatively charged gold foil.
The scattering of alpha particles by a metal foil.
detect charged particles
he shot tiny alpha particles throug a piece of gold foil.
he shot tiny alpha particles throug a piece of gold foil. -Apex
Rutherfords experiment proved the existence of a nucleus as some alpha particles "bounced back" from the gold foil sample . Thomson model did not involve a nucleus and predicted just a slight deflection or none at all.
positive

Some alpha particles deflected, some went straight through and come were deflected.

some of this particles were scatter some pass through without any deflection some were reflected back in the same direction
Thomsons model is sometimes called the plum pudding model as he envisaged a soup of positive charge with negative charges, by then already called electrons swimming round. He came up with this idea in 1904."the atoms of the elements consist of a number of negatively electrified corpuscles enclosed in a sphere of uniform positive electrification"Rutherford following on from the famous scattering experiment with gold foil and alpha particles proposed that the positive charge was concentrated in a central nucleus.
