Master the Conclusions of the Gold foil Experiment by Rutherford



The procedures of the experiment is not need here, sir earnest Rutherford conclude that atoms are made of a centrally located nucleus, which is very massive and has a positive electrical charge. The nucleus is orbited by a planetary electrons which are very light compared to the mass of the nucleus.  The Rutherford atomic model suggest that atoms are almost empty,  the radius of the atom is large compared to the size of the of the electrons or neutrons. Therefore rutherford's foil experiment reveal that atoms are composed of a central nucleus with electrons in a planetary motion around it.
