What conclusions were made from the observations of Gold foil experiment?

From the Gold foil experiment, Rutherford and his team observed that:

● Most of the fast moving α-particles passed straight through the gold foil.

● Some α particles were deflected by small angles and a few by large angles.

● Surprisingly very few α particles completely rebounded.

Thus the conclusions made were:

● Atom has a very small nucleus at the centre.

● There is large empty space around the nucleus.

● Entire mass of an atom is concentrated in a very small positively charged region which is called the nucleus.

● Electrons are distributed in the vacant space around the nucleus.

● The electrons move in circular paths around the nucleus.
