Rutherford's Experiment
In this expt, Alpha particles (Double positive charged helium atom) were bombarded on a thin gold foil.
Observation:-
1) Most of the rays passed straight through it without any deflection...(Answer to ur question)
2) Some rays were deflected through an small angle giving the sense of presence of Electrones
3) 1 out of 20000 rays was was deflected right back through the same path ( Nucleus )

What was the significance of Rutherford's experiment?
he discovered the atom was mostly made up of empty space
Who first came up with the idea that the atom is mostly empty space?
== == The man who discovered that an atom is mostly empty space would be Rutherford.
Rutherford concluded from his calculations that the volume of an atom is?
its mostly empty space
If an atom is mostly empty space what keeps other matter from moving through the space inside an atom?
The motivation is the electromagnetic repulsion of electrons.
What did Rutherford conclude when most particles fired at metal passed straight through?
That the atom was mostly empty space
What was the significance of Rutherford's experiment?
he discovered the atom was mostly made up of empty space
What was significance of rutherfords experiment?
He discovered that the atom was mostly made up of empty space.
Discovered the nucleus and that atom was composed of mostly empty space?
Rutherford
What was the significance the Rutherford's experiment?
He discovered that the atom was mostly made up of empty space.
Who discovered that electrons move in empty space in an atom?
It was Ernest Rutherford who discovered that atoms are mostly composed of empty space with electrons orbiting a very dense nucleus.
Who first came up with the idea that the atom is mostly empty space?
== == The man who discovered that an atom is mostly empty space would be Rutherford.
What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment tell about the atom?
That the atom Mostly consisted of empty space.- apex
What did Rutherford learn about the atom from his gold-foil experiment?
Rutherford discovered that atoms are mostly empty space except for the nucleus at the center of the atom.
What is the inside of atom mostly made of?
Empty space
Is an atom mostly filled with matter?
no it's mostly filled with empty space.
What did gold foil experiment tell about the atom?
that the atom mostly consisted of empty space
The reason a granite block is mostly empty space is that the atoms in the granite are?
Yes, this is essentially true. Well over 99.9% of the mass of any atom is in the nucleus. The electrons in their orbitals around that nucleus actually determine the spacial volume that the atom occupies. And on an atomic scale, the distance from the nucleus to the outer boundaries of the electron cloud is enormous. The atom is mostly empty space, and, therefore, anything made up of atoms is mostly empty space.
