Prompt
This 3D animation shows Rutherford’s alpha-particle experiment. A radioactive source emits alpha particles, which move in a straight line towards a thin gold foil. Most of the alpha particles pass straight through the foil without any deflection. Some alpha particles are slightly deflected when they come close to the positively charged nucleus of the atom. A very few alpha particles are strongly deflected or bounce back after hitting the dense nucleus. The animation demonstrates that most of the atom is empty space, while the nucleus is small, dense, and positively charged, containing most of the mass of the atom.
