The most surprising fact about Rutherford's experiment is that some of the atoms bounced backwards while others scattered.
yes it was tested by the gold foil experiment
The presence of a tine nucleus
The most surprising feature of Rutherford's gold foil experiment was the discovery that some alpha particles were scattered at very large angles, even back towards the source. This suggested that the positive charge in an atom was concentrated in a small, dense nucleus, rather than being spread out as previously thought.
The presence of a tine nucleus
This classic diffraction experiment was conducted in 1911.
he shot tiny alpha particles throug a piece of gold foil.
That the mass of an atom is mostly located in a small nucleus.
I am not entirely sure about "surprising" but his experiment showed that bacteria can transfer genetic information through a process known as transformation.
The surprising result of Rutherford's gold-foil experiment was the observation that some alpha particles were deflected at large angles, even bouncing back towards the source. This led to the conclusion that atoms have a small, dense, positively charged nucleus at their center, which was previously unknown. This discovery revolutionized the understanding of atomic structure.
The conclusion was that an atom has a nucleus (center) with a positive charge.
don't know ???
Some alpha particles deflected, some went straight through and come were deflected.
