hope it helps u....
Answer:
HE selected a gold foil that was only 1000 atoms thick and a source that gives of Alpha radiation.He let those Alpha radiation fall on to the gold foil with high energy, he placed a fluorescent screen around the gold foil in a circular shape and he observed that most of the fast moving Alpha particles passed through the gold foil without any deflections only some of the Alpha particles deflected with small angles and only one out of 12000 particles appeared to rebound from the foil
