You see...the gold foil experiment was basically when alpha particles He 2+ ions were fired into a thin sheet of gold foil..It was done by Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden( students of Rutherford)..Now basically the model of atom then was that what is called the"plum model" or "apple pie model"..or whatever you wish to call it..the basic idea of course was that positive charge was spread around the atom with electrons embedded in them.Now,of course the spread out positive charge,could not deflect the doubly charged alpha particles by much..why?because the positive charges are all spread apart and the field they set up would gradually weaken with distance and hence the total field strength at a given point would not be large enough to deflect the particle.So,they obviously expected small deflections ,but ahat they found amazed them..some of the particles actually was reflected by more than 90 degrees and most of them passed through.."It was like firing a 15-inch long shell in a piece of tissue paper and it came back to hit you"..so now what could this mean?Rutherford concluded that since the particles reflected back,there must be a strong positive"nucleus"..and since most of the particles passed right through,most of the space in an atom must be empty..I think that's about it!!
Ernest Rutherford's hypothesis was that atoms have a dense nucleus at their center with electrons orbiting around it. He tested this hypothesis through the famous gold foil experiment, where he bombarded thin gold foil with alpha particles to study how they were deflected by the atoms in the foil.
Ernest Rutherford is the scientist who conducted the gold foil experiment in 1911 and discovered that atoms have a small, dense nucleus at their center. This experiment led to the isolation and identification of the atomic nucleus.
Ernest Rutherford's famous gold foil experiment, which led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus, was conducted at the University of Manchester in England in 1909.

The Rutherford gold foil experiment convinced Ernest Rutherford that atoms have a small positively charged nucleus. In this experiment, a beam of alpha particles was directed at a thin gold foil. Most of the alpha particles passed through the foil, but some were deflected at large angles, showing that the positive charge of the atom is concentrated in a small region (the nucleus) within the atom.

The conclusion was that an atom has a nucleus (center) with a positive charge.
yes it was tested by the gold foil experiment
Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment demonstrated that atoms have a small, dense nucleus at their center that contains positively charged protons. This nucleus is surrounded by mostly empty space where negatively charged electrons are found orbiting. This experiment led to the development of the nuclear model of the atom.
That the mass of an atom is mostly located in a small nucleus.
The nuclear atom was discovered by Ernest Rutherford. He did it with a gold foil experiment.
