Use SL Rutherford-scattering evidence to infer the nuclear model, interpreting most-particle transmission, rare large deflections and scattering-angle distributions.
This question is in two parts. Part 1 is about the nuclear model of the atom and radioactive decay. Part 2 is about waves.
Part 1 Nuclear model of the atom and radioactive decay
Outline how the evidence supplied by the Geiger-Marsden experiment supports the nuclear model of the atom.
most undeflected/pass straight through;
hence mostly empty space;
few deflected;
hence small dense nucleus;
positive / positively charged;
