What conclusion rutherford drew from his alpha ray scattering experiments

Solution
Rutherford drew the following conclusion from his α-ray scattering experiment.
α-particles passed through the gold foil without any deflection concluding the empty space inside the atom.
Deflection is observed in a few particles which proves the positive charge of the atom occupies very little space.
Deflection in A very small fraction of α-particles indicates that all the positive charge and mass of the gold atom were concentrated in a very small volume within the atom.
