Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment

Rutherford's gold foil experiment provided evidence that...

• negative and positive charges are spread evenly throughout the atom.
• alpha particles have a positive charge.
• gold is not a dense as previously thought.
• there is a dense positively charged nucleus at the center of an atom.
