Thomson's contribution to the atomic theory was the discovery that negatively-charged electrons were
embedded within a positively-charged "soup". Later
on Rutherford preformed the gold foil experiment
which altered Thomson's contribution. What were
the conclusions of Rutherford's Gold Foil
Experiment?
O The atom is made up of mostly empty space with a tiny,
dense, positively-charged nucleus.
O The atom is mostly empty space, with negative charge
concentrated at the center.
O The atom is mostly empty space, with positive charges
spread evenly across it.
O The atom is mostly empty space. No other conclusions
could be made.
