Okay so Rutherford's gold foil experiment gave three conclusions:
-the atom is mostly empty space
-in it is a small, dense nucleus
-the nucleus is positively charged.

Soooo you don't want the one about the negitivity being in the electrons because that wasn't a conclusion of the experiment. You'd want to pick "Their positive charge is located in a small region that is callled the nucleus"
