0 1 2 Fill in the blanks. The nuclear model of the atom was developed
after the alpha particle scattering experiment. In this experiment:
o Most alpha particles passed through the gold foil,
showing that atoms are mostly ________.
o A few particles were deflected, suggesting that the
________ is small and positively charged.
