In the Rutherford Gold foil experiment he bombarded alpha par ticle i e He nuclei He2 ion which contained 2protons and 2neutrons on a gold foil through which he acknowledged that most of the part of atom is empty and the mass is situated at nucleus of atom But when the He2 nuclei was bombarded it passed through the gold foil atoms which also contained elec trons so why the electrons didn t attracted the protons of the He2 ion instead it got scattered by different angles Because the protons of He2 nuclei and electrons of gold foil are of opposite charges and opposite charges attract each other
