9. What observations in the gold foil experiment made Rutherford conclude that atoms are mostly empty space? A. Some alpha particles were deflected at smaller angles. B. Most alpha particles passed through the gold foil undeflected. C. Few alpha particles deflected almost back towards the source. D. Very few particles were deflected from their path, indicating that the positive charge of the atom occupies very large space. 10. What conclusion did Rutherford's gold foil experiment lead to? A. Atoms are indivisible. B. Neutrons are located in the nucleus. C. Atoms contain a positively charged nucleus. D. Electrons move in definite energy levels called shells. 11.
