What else can I help you with?
Rutherford concluded from his calculations that the volume of an atom is?
Mainly empty space, with a very small and dense nucleus at the center containing the majority of the atom's mass.
What was the significance of Rutherford's experiment?
Rutherford's experiment, known as the gold foil experiment, led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus and the development of the nuclear model of the atom. This experiment provided evidence that most of the atom's mass and positive charge is concentrated in a small, dense nucleus at the center of the atom, with electrons orbiting around it. It revolutionized our understanding of atomic structure.
If an atom is mostly empty space what keeps other matter from moving through the space inside an atom?
The empty space within an atom is not truly "empty" but is occupied by the nucleus and electrons. These particles interact through electromagnetic forces that repel other matter from moving through the space inside an atom. The forces between the particles maintain the structure and integrity of the atom.
What did Rutherford conclude when most particles fired at metal passed straight through?
Rutherford concluded that atoms must be mostly empty space with a small, dense nucleus at the center. This discovery led to the development of the Rutherford model of the atom.
What conclusion is based on the gold foil experiment and the resulting model of the atom?
The conclusion from the gold foil experiment led by Rutherford is that atoms have a small, dense, positively charged nucleus at their center, with electrons orbiting around it in a mostly empty space. This model of the atom overturned the plum pudding model and established the foundation for our current understanding of atomic structure.
What did the scientist say about the structure of an atom, stating that it is mostly empty space?
The scientist stated that the structure of an atom is mostly empty space.
What was significance of rutherfords experiment?
He discovered that the atom was mostly made up of empty space.
Is an atom mostly filled with matter?
no it's mostly filled with empty space.
What did gold foil experiment tell about the atom?
that the atom mostly consisted of empty space
Discovered the nucleus and that atom was composed of mostly empty space?
Rutherford
Where is the mass of a atom?
in the nucleus :D the rest is mostly empty space
What did rutherfords gold foil tell about the atom?
That the atom Mostly consisted of empty space.- apex
What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment tell them about the atom?
It told them that the atom was mostly empty space.

The reason a granite block is mostly empty space is that the atoms in the granite are?
Yes, this is essentially true. Well over 99.9% of the mass of any atom is in the nucleus. The electrons in their orbitals around that nucleus actually determine the spacial volume that the atom occupies. And on an atomic scale, the distance from the nucleus to the outer boundaries of the electron cloud is enormous. The atom is mostly empty space, and, therefore, anything made up of atoms is mostly empty space.
