Question

Explain how Rutherfords' gold foil experiment explains how this experiment confirms the nuclear model of the atom and the idea that most of the atom is empty space.
formally, please.

Answer 1

Explanation:

When Rutherford did the Gold Foil experiment, he expected that most of his alpha particles will go straight through, without any major deflections. He noticed that, during the experiment, most alpha particles went straight through, but was surprised to see that some got deflected by major angles. So he came up with a theory which states that every atom has got a nucleus, and also stated that most parts of the atom are empty, as most of the particles went through.
