    Chemistry help please?
    Can someone please explain these questions to me?

    My parts 1 and 2 of this assignment were about Dalton's Atomic Theory, and Thomson's Cathode Ray.
    However my part 3 is about Rutherford's Experiment. I've tried looking up on Google, and trying to understand the theory but for some reason I'm just having a lot of trouble.

    Here are my questions for the Rutherford Experiment:

    a. What kind of results should Rutherford have gotten if the atom did NOT have most of the mass in the nucleus--that is, if most of the atom was not empty space?

    b. What kind of results should Rutherford have gotten if the atom did NOT have all of the positive charge concentrated in the nucleus?

    c. How did Rutherford contribute to an even better model of the atom?


    Thank you for any of your help, and helping me understand this.
