Why was gold the chosen target for rutherfords experiment?
I assume that is because gold can be formed into an extremely thin sheet.

The conclusion was that an atom has a nucleus (center) with a positive charge.
What were the defects of Rutherfords experiment?
It doesn't explain why electrons which are negative don't collapse into the positive nucleus. sources: Chemistry/physics teacher
