Question

Why was Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment so important?

a
because of this experiment, Rutherford determined that atoms have positively charged centers

b
it is because of this experiment that we know that atoms do exist

c
because it led to the discovery of subatomic particles

d
because of this experiment, Rutherford determined that electrons move in fixed paths around the nucleus

Answer 1

Answer is 'B' I think

Step-by-step explanation:

Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment proved the existence of a small massive center to atoms, which would later be known as the nucleus of an atom. Through previous experiments of shooting alpha particles, Rutherford knew they had considerable mass and speed.
