Question

Write any two conclusions of Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment.​

Answer 1

Answer:

From the location and number of α-particles reaching the screen, Rutherford concluded the following: i) Almost 99% of the α-particles pass through the gold foil without any deflection. So atom must be having a lot of empty space in it. ii) Several α-particles get deflected at angles.
