What did Rutherford conclude from the observations of a-ray scattering

1.	What did Rutherford conclude from the observations of a-ray scattering experiment?
Answer» A correction, 1) most alpha rays pass straight through atom. 3) 1/12000 alpha rays. Sorry.<br>1) Most of the α - rays emerged out of the gold foil with large amount of scattering indicating that most of the space inside a gold atom is empty.2) A few α - rays suffered a small amount of deviation indicating that something which is positive in charge is situated at inside every gold atom.3) 1 out of every 2000 rays came out of the gold foil undeviated retracing the path indicating that all positive charges present in an atom is accumulated at a very small volume inside the atom.
