Question

Why most.Of the rays passed the gold foil in rutherford?

Answer 1

In Rutherford's gold foil experiment, the particles of which most passed straight through the gold foil were alpha particles, which are positively charged. The few alpha particles that were deflected back or to one side were being repelled by nuclei, which are also positively charged

Answer 2

Most of the rays passed because there is a lot of empty space in side the atom and the nucleus is located at the centre.
