Dear student
Rutherford needed to come up with an entirely new model of the atom in order to explain his results. Because the vast majority of the alpha particles had passed through the gold, he reasoned that most of the atom was empty space. ... It is worth emphasizing just how small the nucleus is compared to the rest of the atom.
