what did rutherford state about the nucleus? (4)
-nucleus is a very tiny, dense, and positively charged core of an atom.
-All of the atom’s protons, are contained in the nucleus
-The nucleus is surrounded by mostly empty space.
-Rapidly moving electrons are scattered outside the nucleus around the atom’s edge in an electron cloud.
