Rutherford came to this conclusion after his Gold-Foil experiment. He found that most of the alpha particales(when released) went straight through the gold foil, of which consisted of atoms. In the middle of the atom theres a small nucleus that has mass and positive charge. Because the nucleus is so small the alpha <span>particles were able to go straight through leading to the conclusion that atoms are mostly empty space. </span>
