Rutherford and his colleagues fired a beam of small, positively charged alpha particles at thin gold foil. some of these alpha particles were deflected at angles as they passed through the foil.

what conclusion did rutherford and his colleagues draw from their results?
a) the atom must contain some neutral charge spread throughout the atom. he called these particles neutrons.
b) the atom must contain some centrally located negative charge. he called this core of negative charge the nucleus.
c) the atom must contain some centrally located positive charge. he called this core of positive charge the nucleus.
