He realized that an atom is mostly made of empty space.
he shot tiny alpha particles throug a piece of gold foil. -Apex
In Rutherford's gold foil experiment, some of the Alpha particles aimed at gold atoms bounced back, suggesting that a solid mass was at the center of the atom.They suggested that most of the mass of the atom is concentrated at the center and the center is positively charged.
His experiment with the gold foil and the beam of positively charged particles proved that the nucleus of the atom is not solid. The beam past through the foil and bounced back. Rutherford's experiment contradicted Thomson's theory that an atom is solid.
Rutherford's gold foil experiment did not discover the existence of any subatomic particles, but it did show the existence of a small, tightly packed, positively charged nucleus and thus led to the discovery of protons.
In Rutherford's gold foil experiment atoms are mostly empty space.
gold foil.
Earnest Rutherford's experiment,"Gold Foil", led to the discovery the of a Small,dense and positively charged Nucleus
yes it was tested by the gold foil experiment

was wandering the smae thing but i think they just developed rutherfords theory by doing the gold foil experiment in depth
positive
That the mass of an atom is mostly located in a small nucleus.
That atoms have a positively charged nucleus.
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.
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.
The conclusion was that an atom has a nucleus (center) with a positive charge.
