Rutherford’s gold-foil experiment using alpha particle scattering concluded that most of the atom is empty

for better understanding, we have to explain what Rutherford's gold foil experiment means.

  • In Rutherford's gold foil experiment, Rutherford shot some alpha particles at a very thin gold foil target. The result shows that most of alpha particles passed straight through the foil while some particles were slightly deflected and also shows that  1 in 20,000 bounced back toward the alpha source.
  • The outcome of Rutherford's gold foil experiment showed that the atom is mostly empty space because most of the alpha particles went straight through the foil, most of the mass of an atom is located in its nucleus  and the nucleus is positively charged.

From the above, we can therefore say that the answer Rutherford’s gold-foil experiment using alpha particle scattering concluded that most of the atom is empty is correct.
