What was the conclusion of Rutherford's gold foil experiment in terms of an atom's mass and volume?

Rutherford found that when when he aimed alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold foil, that some of the particles were deflecteted and didn't go straight through the foil. The reason for this turned out the be that they ran into the nucleus. Most of the particles did go straight through, so Rutherford concluded that the atom was mostly empty space. He also concluded that the center of the atom contained the nucleus and had positively charged particles he called protons.

What are the main ideas of e Rutherford gold foil experiment?

basically, Rutherford shot postively charged particles at a thin sheet of gold foil. most of the particles passed straight through, but some bounced off at sharp angles. This implies that most of the atom is empy space (which is why most of the particles go straight throught) , but there is a positively charged nucleus at the center (which repels the postively charged particles, so if a particle hits the nucleus, it bounces off )
