As a result of the gold foil experiment, it was concluded that an atom

• contains protons, neutrons, and electrons

• contains a small, dense nucleus

• has positrons and orbitals

• is a hard, indivisible sphere

The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha particle directed at the foil

• passed through the foil

• remained trapped in the foil

• were deflected by the nuclei in gold atoms

• were deflected by the electrons in gold atoms
