HEY! HERE IS UR ANS.-
(1) he was choosen a gold foil
(2) The sub atomic particle he use was Alpha Particle.
(3) He says the electrons ate revolve around the nucleus in a spiral path. This too is not satisfactory because in following spiral path, Energy is lost by the electrons and ultimately the will fall in the nucleus, but ATOMS are stable.
HOPE THIS HELPS....
