Describe Rutherford’s experiment (supplement)
● Alpha particles (charge +2) were fired at a thin
sheet of gold foil
● Most particles went straight through
● Some particles were deflected by small angles
(< 90º)
● A few particles were deflected by large angles
(> 90º)

There is a positive nucleus at the centre
of an atom, with negative electrons
existing in a “cloud”/region around the
nucleus.
