Question

what did rutherford conclude from his gold foil experiments? ¿qué concluyó rutherford de sus experimentos con láminas de oro? the atom is mostly empty space. el átomo es principalmente un espacio vacío. both choices are correct. ambas opciones san correctas. the atom has a dense center called the nucleus. el átomo tiene un centro denso llamado núcleo.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Rutherford's gold - foil experiment involved firing alpha particles at a thin gold foil. Most alpha particles passed through the foil, indicating that the atom is mostly empty space. Some alpha particles were deflected at large angles or even bounced back, which suggested that there is a dense, positively charged center (the nucleus) in the atom. So both statements "The atom is mostly empty space" and "The atom has a dense center called the nucleus" are correct conclusions from Rutherford's experiment.

Answer:

Both choices are correct.
