Answer:
there are 3 observations made-
*most of the alpha particles will pass through the gold foil which shows there is a lot of space in between the nucleus and the electrons
*some of them will get deviated from their path but they will pass through the foil
*very few of them bounce back

Answer:
If experiment is carried out by using a foil of some other metal, then results would not have been such as most of the of particles will be deflected back. Gold can be beaten to an extremely thin sheet as it is extremely malleable metal. With the use of extremely thin gold foil, Rutherford could predict that, “Most of the space inside the atom is empty and nucleus is positively charged occupying a small volume within the atom”.
