Answer 1

Answer:

${\huge{\sf{\green{\underline {\underline {Answer }}}}}}$

Rutherford 's Gold Foil Experiment shocked the world by showing that solid was an illusion and matter was mostly empty space. ... The idea that the stuff that makes up “solids” was not how we thought it to be was very unsettling since we could not see through things or pass our hands through them....

The results of one experiment in particular surprised Rutherford and everyone else. Rutherford found that when he fired alpha particles at a very thin piece of gold foil, an interesting phenomenon happened. ... Almost all of the alpha particles went straight through the foil as if they had hit nothing at all....

please mark as brainliest....

Answer no. 1 :-

The new concept of the atom can be illustrated by the bail of fencing above. If enough layers are stacked together, the bail becomes stronger and it is more difficult to see through the large holes.

Answer no. 2 :-

Rutherford discovered the proton, and he also discovered that the atom is mainly empty space. He noticed that a beam of alpha particles was scattered back where it came from by gold atoms, and, since it was known that alpha particles were positive, it was deduced that there was a dense positive core in the nucleus.
