The most surprising fact about Rutherford's experiment is that some of the atoms bounced backwards while others scattered.

What feature of rutherfords gold foil experiment was most surprising to those who carried out the experiment?

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.

What were the surprising results of Rutherford's gold-foil experiment?

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.


What did ernest rutherfords gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms?
