In 1909, a team of British scientists led by Ernest Rutherford, carried out the Gold Foil Experiment to determine the arrangement of particles in the atom. In this experiment, alpha particles were used to bombard gold foil. Most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil undeflected. What conclusion was made about the structure of the atom based on this observation? *
Most of the volume of the atom is empty space
Electrons are negatively charged
protons are positively charged

Answer:
Most of the space inside the atom is empty because most of the α-particles passed through the gold foil without getting deflected. Very few particles were deflected from their path, indicating that the positive charge of the atom occupies very little space.
