Rutherford's gold foil experiment supported the jdea that the atom is A. completely solid with no empty spaces. O B. mostly a large heavy core. O c. mostly empty space. D. negative space with embedded positive particles. E. positive space with embedded negative particles.​

(b) Explanation:

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.

periodic trends is an atom that gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase, the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. in general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to right of a certain period.
