If you pour sand into a cup(empty) why would it change?
If it had water in it then the sand <span>will sink to the bottom</span>, and not change forms.

If you, for example, poured it onto a wide cup with a volume equal to the total volume of the sand particles, the sand would not spread out to fill the container but would bunch up together in the middle.

The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha

Answer:

(1) passed through the foil

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.

When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.

While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.

And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.
