Final answer:

Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment revealed atoms have small, dense, positive nuclei, reshaping atomic theory.


Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment provided key insights into the structure of an atom. The experiment showed that

  1. Atoms have small, dense, positive nuclei, which was a groundbreaking conclusion drawn from the deflection of alpha particles in the gold foil.
  2. Atoms contain negatively charged particles was not directly proposed as a conclusion from this experiment.

Rutherford's findings revolutionized the understanding of atomic structure.
