Best Answer

when Rutherford did his experiment he got a observation that very few alpha particles (helium ions ) got deflected from their mean position . This indicates that there is very tiny positively charged particle or object is present . This led to the result that Nucleus is positively charged .

Why are the central atoms shown as positively charged?

central atoms that are positively charged, either contain more protons than neutrons, or are simply made up of protons, therefore are not complete atoms. any imbalance of protons to electrons will make it no longer an atom but an ion. this is the only way it could be seen as positively charged because atoms are neutral.


In Rutherfords gold foil experiment shown in Figure 4-1 alpha particles that bounce straight back from the foil have struck in the gold atoms?

No, they struck the nucleus of the atom. Since the alpha particles are positively charged and nucleus is positively charged as well, they repelled each other and alpha particles are repelled back
