Positively charged protons in the nucleus, hope this helps.

Answer is: Positively charged protons in the nucleus of the gold atom.

This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles (helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons).  

Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film and notice that most of alpha particles passed straight through foil.

Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

- 5. Describe the general trend in atomic radil across a row of the periodic table.​
sattari [20]

Answer:

Across a row, atomic radii decreases.

Explanation:

It decreases because nuclear charge increases across a row, electrons are added to the same shell and shielding remains constant. Therefore the outer electrons are more attracted to the nucleus making the atom smaller.
