Mathematical, structural convention and data skills question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

The model of the nuclear atom was first proposed by Ernest Rutherford. He developed this model on the basis of results obtained from an experiment using gold metal foil.

Tumbaga is an alloy of copper and gold. A sample of tumbaga was analysed. The mass spectrum of the sample is shown.
