Virtual Lab: Simulating Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment (Nuclear Radiation)
Introduction:Ernest Rutherford’s atomic theory describes the atom with a central positive nucleus surrounded by negative orbiting electrons. This model suggested that most of the mass of the atom was contained in the small nucleus, and that the rest of the atom was mostly empty space. Rutherford came to this conclusion following the results of his famous gold foil experiment. This experiment involved the firing of radioactive particles through minutely thin gold metal foils and detecting them us
