Experiment Interpretation Incoming a particles Beam of a particles Source of a particles Nucleus A tiny fraction of the a particles are scattered at large angles because their path takes them very close to an extremely small but highly charged nucleus. Gold foil Circular fluorescent screen Interpretation Incoming a particles Most a particles undergo little to no scattering because most of the atom is empty. Nucleus A Figure 2.9 Rutherford's a-scattering experiment. When a particles pass through a gold foil, most pass through undeflected but some are scattered, a few at very large angles. According to the plum-pudding model of the atom, the particles should experience only very minor deflections. The nuclear model of the atom explains why a few a particles are deflected at large angles. Although the nuclear atom has been depicted here as a yellow sphere, it is important to realize that most of the space around the nucleus contains only the low-mass electrons.
