The scattering experiment of E. Rutherford and his team lead to the disvovery of the proton and to a new atomic model. Alpha particles colliding an atom are scattered by the positive atomic nucleus containing protons.

Is the nucleus a very small region of the atom?
Yes. It was shown by Rutherford's alpha scattering experiment.
Who said atoms were made up of subatomic particles?
Rutherford proved it it from his alpha-particle scattering experiment.
Which of the following provided evidence that most of the mass of the atom as well as all of the positive charge is concentrated in a very small core the nucleus?
The scattering of alpha particles by a metal foil.
What did the alpha scattering experiment reveal?
The alpha radiation in the experiment was detected by using a microscope and a fluorescent screen. When an alpha particle strikes the screen, the coating will fluoresce, and it will give off a "flash" of light. This small flash of light can be picked up by the investigator using the microscope.
Compton scattering is defined as what?
Compton scattering is an inelastic scattering of a photon by a free charged particle, usually an electron. It results in a decrease in energy of the photon.
Rutherfords alpha scattering experiment showed that the charge on the nucleus of the atom must be?
positive
Is the nucleus a very small region of the atom?
Yes. It was shown by Rutherford's alpha scattering experiment.
Who said atoms were made up of subatomic particles?
Rutherford proved it it from his alpha-particle scattering experiment.
Why was ernest Rutherford important to society?
He completely changed the model of the atom using his simple alpha scattering experiment.
Who discovered that atoms were composed of protons and neutrons?
neutrons were discovered by james chadwick by an experiment which was started by madam curie. protons were discovered by rutherford in his alpha ray scattering experiment
What will happen if the beta particles would be there in the scattering experiment instead of alpha particles?
then you would get a girlfriend instead of asking questions on wikianswers
What experiments demonstrated that atoms are mostly empty space?
The alpha particle scattering experiment by Ernest Rutherford (1911) demonstrates that more than 99.9% of an atom contains empty space.
Rutherford's alpha-scattering experiment showed that the charge on the nucleus of the atom must be a.positive b.neutral c.negative d.too small to be detected?
positive
Which scientist said electrons orbit the nucleus in distinct orbit?
Rutherford, using his gold foil scattering experiment
Why can Rutherford's experiment not explain scattering of acute angles?
The experiment explains all angles as a measure of how close the alpha particles travelled to the nuclei. An acute angle means that the particle virtually hit the nucleus and was directly rebounded.
What were the predictions for the alpha scattering experiment?
some of this particles were scatter some pass through without any deflection some were reflected back in the same direction
What did Rutherford scattering experiment reveal about atoms?
The principal conclusion was that any chemical element has a positive charged central nucleus.
