Which conclusion was a direct result of the gold foil experiment?
(1) An atom is mostly empty space with a dense, positively charged nucleus.
(2) An atom is composed of at least three types of subatomic particles.
(3) An electron has a positive charge and is located inside the nucleus.
(4) An electron has properties of both waves and particles.
They determined that (1) An atom is mostly empty space with a sense, positively charged nucleus, because most particles passed straight through the gold foil, but occasionally they would deflect, sometimes by a very large margin
