Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment - Quick and Simple!

This chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment. He beamed a ray of alpha particles onto a gold foil and discovered that the atom was mostly empty space and contained a dense center with positive charge known as the nucleus.

I wish teachers taught us like this :( I’ve learned so much. These videos prove Learning really doesn’t have to be difficult or boring

[@rajimulislam1108]

In bangladesh,teachers teach us like this.

I am so glad I found your videos!! Every time I leave lecture, I feel clueless, lost and kinda dumb. But whenever I watch your videos, I feel like I can do this! Thank you!!!

[@ruthtautere1885]

i feel yah mynnn

[@moodsmoody4936]

Holy shit the same sentiment I feel the majority of times if not all First year of college with bad proffs that go through lessons fast to finish the curriculum with little time we have because of corona, are definitely not helping me ugh

[@HangTimeDeluxe]

Put your phone away and you'll absorb more of the lecture.

[@alexanderkhater4980]

That was the most productive and efficient five minutes of learning I have ever experienced.

[@austinlai9670]

How are you so good at explaining? I spent an hour trying to learn this and failed. Now I fully understand it after your 5 minute video

[@hannahrose5546]

You explained this so much better than my science textbook. Thank you for speaking simply and in plain language instead of trying to tell me a story!

[@elii7757]

When reading my school notes it said he "shot positively charged particles at the gold foil" I seriously thought he was using a gun or something😭

In all my years I never understood what this experiment was really about. You’ve just explained it to me!😮

Professor Organic Chemistry Tutor, thank you for a short and sweet explanation of Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment in Classical /Ap/General Chemistry. Experiments and Discoveries are important in all levels of Chemistry.

[@hasnanawas1331]

Thank you so much!!!! I don't really know why teachers make concepts seem tough .You are a really good tutor❤️❤️

[@lillith8444]

your voice is so incredibly calming to listen to

He did what my teacher failed to explain in 4 hrs in just 5 minutes

[@joelgrayson4648]

To summarize Rutherford's conclusions: 1. Atom is mostly empty space (most αlpha went through)

[@kun-yq6ed]

yeet

[@tasogari-doki2664]

+ mass of an atom and protons are mostly concentrated at the centre.

[@nmesomaihunna801]

Your channel is seriously the best physics/chemistry tutor channel ever🙅🙅 Have chemistry oral test tomorrow on atomic model and I'm feeling pretty confident.....THANK YOU🙏🙏😓

Wooooow that was so much easier to understand! Thank you

I was legit bitting my head off trying to understand this experiment and this 5 minutes video alone helped me understand everything Rutherford concluded in his experiment. Thx alot❤

[@Gobtrey]

u have the ability to make things simple and easy to understand!

[@memyselfandi1839]

I just discovered that you're video consisted of a lot of "so's, the fact that, due to" and "Now's". Nothing against you, just an observation. Really liked your summary.

[@Mad4beer]

This experiment is just pure genius

[@grcc]

Hello! I'm contacting you on behalf of a science instructor here at Grand Rapids Community College who uses this video in her classroom. This semester, she has a Deaf student, and I'm wondering if you'd be open to accurately closed-captioning this video? Unfortunately, KZbin's auto-captions don't quite cut it for accessibility (e.g. no punctuation, capitalization, and word errors). Can you let me know if this is feasible? Happy to offer assistance on this front, if needed. Thank you!

[@이민찬-u8z]

I am so glad I found this channel and you should literally come to our school instead of our science teacher who can't explain a single thing.

[@adityabhardwaj5832]

Amazing video, helped a lot, not like the other rubbish videos present on the web!!!Good job

[@jaskiratsingh7922]

Why do my A levels teachers make it so difficult, in reality the topic is so easy! Thanks man

This video was almost as incredible as if you fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you. Well done, old chap. Appreciate what you do.

[@jaysant6958]

0:18 Is there a video that goes more into depth about this? Did he have to wait for Radium to decay for it to shoot out alpha particles or was there a trigger he pulled to shoot it? If it’s the trigger way, how did the trigger make it do that? Also, can this experimenting be done by everyday people? If no, what would be needed?
