Most of the particles went through the foil, but some were deflected
an inital observation is the basic and main observation of the experiment
That the mass of an atom is mostly located in a small nucleus.
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.
It doesn't explain why electrons which are negative don't collapse into the positive nucleus. sources: Chemistry/physics teacher

What are the 'statements' and which 'experiment' is meant to be 'supported' in this question.
gold foil.
observation,hypothesis, experiment, and thesis/conclusion
yes it was tested by the gold foil experiment
The presence of a tine nucleus
positive

This classic diffraction experiment was conducted in 1911.
he shot tiny alpha particles throug a piece of gold foil. -Apex
