Who saw the atom as mostly empty space with electrons orbiting around the nucleus?
Rutherford.
Who used the gold foil experiment to determine the atom is mostly empty space?
Ernest Rutherford did this experiment in 1909 with Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden.
What was ernest rutherfords greatest science achievement?
Opinions vary. The discovery of the atomic nucleus ("most of the atom is empty space")
What was Ernest Rutherford most known for?
He is best known for his new model of the atom. He performed the alpha scattering experiment and concluded that the nucleus is positively charged, very dense and makes up a very small part of the atom such that most of an atom is empty space.
Define intercellular space?
Every particle has empty space or voids between each other called intermolecular or interparticle spaces......
Discovered the nucleus and that atom was composed of mostly empty space?
Rutherford
What was the significance of Rutherford's experiment?
he discovered the atom was mostly made up of empty space
What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment tell about the atom?
That the atom Mostly consisted of empty space.- apex
Who discovered that electrons move in empty space in an atom?
It was Ernest Rutherford who discovered that atoms are mostly composed of empty space with electrons orbiting a very dense nucleus.
What was significance of rutherfords experiment?
He discovered that the atom was mostly made up of empty space.
What is the inside of atom mostly made of?
Empty space
Is an atom mostly filled with matter?
no it's mostly filled with empty space.
What did gold foil experiment tell about the atom?
that the atom mostly consisted of empty space
The reason a granite block is mostly empty space is that the atoms in the granite are?
Yes, this is essentially true. Well over 99.9% of the mass of any atom is in the nucleus. The electrons in their orbitals around that nucleus actually determine the spacial volume that the atom occupies. And on an atomic scale, the distance from the nucleus to the outer boundaries of the electron cloud is enormous. The atom is mostly empty space, and, therefore, anything made up of atoms is mostly empty space.
Rutherford concluded from his calculations that the volume of an atom is?
its mostly empty space
Where is the mass of a atom?
in the nucleus :D the rest is mostly empty space
What did rutherfords gold foil tell about the atom?
That the atom Mostly consisted of empty space.- apex
