Question

question 2. which of the following statements describe conclusions from rutherfords gold foil experiment?
□ electrons are evenly distributed throughout the atom.
□ atoms have a dense, positively - charged nucleus.
□ atoms are composed of small particles called neutrons.
□ most of the atom is empty space.
□ the nucleus is made of both protons and neutrons.

Explanation:

Rutherford's gold - foil experiment led to the discovery that atoms have a dense, positively - charged nucleus. It also showed that most of the atom is empty space. Neutrons were not discovered by Rutherford's experiment. Electrons are not evenly distributed throughout the atom according to Rutherford's model; they are in the space outside the nucleus.

Answer:

Most of the atom is empty space., Atoms have a dense, positively charged nucleus.
