    1) Ernest Rutherford, Hans Geiger, and Ernest Marsden conducted an experiment firing helium particles at a gold foil. 2) They discovered that some particles were deflected when passing through the gold foil, indicating the atom is mostly empty space with a small, dense nucleus at the center. 3) The experiment provided evidence that atoms have a small, dense positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons that revolve around the nucleus, with most of the atom being empty space.
