Which of the following states an important result of rutherford's gold-foil experiment? a. atoms have mass. b. electrons have a negative charge c. neutrons are uncharged particles d. the atom is mostly empty space

Rutherford's gold-foil experiment showed that D. the atom is mostly empty space.

When he shot α particles at a thin gold foil, most of them went straight through the foil without being deflected.

However, a few of the α particles were deflected by rather large angles. He concluded that the atom is mostly empty space with almost all its mass concentrated in a small central nucleus.

1. a)c-14 has two more protons

2. d)they have different numbers of protons, neutrons, and valence electrons; they are all gases at room temperature.

3. c) iron and nickel.
