Nucleus - Rutherford fired particles at gold foil, and most went straight through. This showed that most of atoms are empty, and that most of the mass only occupies a small part of the atom. This part is known as the nucleus.

positive
What did Rutherfords gold foil experiment help him conclude?
That the mass of an atom is mostly located in a small nucleus.
How did Rutherfords gold foil experiment tell scientists about the atomic structure?

What wa Rutherford's gold foil experiment?
The gold foil experiment supplanted the plum pudding theory. The gold foil experiment led to the discovery that most of the atoms mass is located in the dense nucleus.

What did rutherfords gold foil experiment demonstrate?
It demonstrated that there is positively charged nucleus and the atom is mostly empty spaced.
