5. In a famous experiment, scientists bombarded a very thin gold (Au) foil with positively charged alpha particles. They found that most of the alpha particles passed right through the Au foil. However, a few of the alpha particles were deflected or bounced back toward the source. How did these scientists explain their results? a. Negative charges are spread throughout the atom.
b. Negative charges are located in the tiny nucleus of the atom.
c. Positive charges are located in the tiny nucleus of the atom.
d. Positive charges are spread throughout the atom.
