Rutherford take a very thin gold foil of 1000 atom.when fast moving alpha particles are allowed to strike a very thin gold foil in vaccum it is found that:
(1) most of the alpha particles pass straight through the gold foil without any deflection from their original path.
(2) a few alpha particles are deflected through large angles.
(3) a very few alpha particles completely rebound on hitting the gold foil and turn back on their path.

It is the experiment that is famous for proving that an atom must have a nucleus. In the experiment Rutherford fired positively charged particles at a thin sheet of gold foil. When he did this, he observed that some of the positive particles went straight through the gold atoms in the foil, while others rebounded back.
