The conclusion from Rutherford's radioactive substance alpha-scattering experiment is that
atoms are mostly empty space with a samll
emissions from radioactive substances consist of three main components
there is unclear pull on orbital electrons
electrons are deflected by both magnetic and electric fields
Explicació
Ernest Rutherford's alpha-scattering experiment led to the conclusion that atoms are mostly empty space, with a nucleus that contains the atom's positive charge.
