It showed that the positive charge was concentrated in a very small area, rather than being spread out. We now call this small area the nucleus.
Rutherford was a bit surprised when some of the particles he "fired at thee foil bounced right back. This would not have happened if the charge was disperse.
By the way, he actually used platinum foil, although all the books say gold!
When the electron beam showed scattering, it indicated the presence of a mass inside the atom that was larger than the electrons. This meant that the raisin pudding model was not correct.
It is extremely Nyap.
it was positively charged
The gold-foil experiment

Ernest Rutherford was responsible for the Gold Foil experiment. A great portion of Ernest Rutherford's research included the study of alpha particles.
Rutherford\'s gold foil experiment can be performed in a classroom setting by using marbles, wooden blocks, and books as the materials.
I think it would be Neutrons. (:
It allowed him to conclude that an atom is mostly empty space with a nucleus
The experimental evidence led Rutherford to conclude that an atom is mostly empty space because most of the particles weren't deflected off of the gold foil in his experiment.
In Rutherford's gold foil experiment atoms are mostly empty space.
Ernest Rutherford used the gold foil experiment in 1908 .
The gold-foil experiment led scientists to conclude that an atom's volume is mainly unoccupied.
Ernest Rutherford, following the "gold foil" experiment.
The Geiger-Marsden experiment, which is also called the gold foil experiment or the Rutherford experiment, was conducted by Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden in 1909, under Earnest Rutherford's direction. You need a link to the Wikipedia post on this ground-breaking experiment, and we've got one for you.
The nuclear atom was discovered by Ernest Rutherford. He did it with a gold foil experiment.
because few particles bounced back
