What experimental evidence led to the development of this atomic model from the one before it? A few of the positive particles a
imed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back. The colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies. Equations were used to identify regions around the nucleus where electrons would likely be. Cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.
Explanation:
Rutherford gold foil experiment led to the discovery that every atom has a nucleus, its mass and all the positive charge are concentrated in it and also that most of the atom is mostly empty space.
It was performed in 1911 by Rutherford and his coworkers Ernest Marsden and Hans Geiger. They bombarded fast moving alpha particles on thin sheets of gold foil.
Most of the alpha particles passed through the sheet while few were deflected from their straight path. A small percentage of particles also bounced back from the foil. Since the alpha particles are positive so there must have been something positive inside the atoms that deflected and bounced back the alpha particles. So it led to the conclusion that the center of atom is positively charged.

Pesticides vary in their effects on bees. Contact pesticides are usually sprayed on plants and can kill bees when they crawl over sprayed surfaces of plants or other areas around it. ... When a bee comes in contact with pesticides while foraging, the bee may die immediately without returning to the hive.
