Describe an observation and conclusion of the nuclear structure
1. Most alpha particles passed straight through so nucleus is small and most of the atom is empty space
4 of 6
Describe another observation and conclusion
2. Some particles were deflected so most of the mass of the atom must be in the nucleus.
5 of 6
Describe a final observation and conclusion
3. About 1 in 1000 alpha particles completely rebounded(repelled) so nucleus must be positively charged
