Question

rutherfords alpha particle scattering experiment showed that the plum pudding model was incorrect therefore rutherford came up with the nuclear model of an atom. complete the explanations below: during the experiment most of the alpha particles passed straight through the gold sheet which shows that...... very few particles were deflected which suggests that...... rutherfords nuclear model

Explanation:

In Rutherford's alpha - particle scattering experiment, most alpha - particles passing straight through the gold sheet indicates that most of the space inside the atom is empty. The very few deflected particles suggest that there is a small, dense, positively - charged nucleus at the center of the atom which can repel the positively - charged alpha - particles.

Answer:

Most of the space inside the atom is empty; there is a small, dense, positively - charged nucleus at the center of the atom.
