Practical observation
leads to the conclusion that most of mass is concentrated in nucleus
Most of alpha particles pass straight the atom only 1 in 20000 is reflected at an angle of 180° which made sure that there is mass concentrated in center.

Thank you, but it shows that the positive charge is concentrated at the centre. How mass is concentrated?

The observations of Rutherford's experiment were as follows :-
• Most of the fast moving alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil.
• Some of the alpha particles were deflected by foil by small angles.
• Surprisingly one out of every 12000 particles appeared to rebound.
=> These observations lead Rutherford to make the conclusion that ' while mass of an atom is concentrated in its centre. '
Hope it helps : )
