The gold foil experiment resulted in two major discoveries which were made about the structure of the atom, that the atom has consisted of the +ve charged nucleus and -ve charge electrons outside the nucleus.
The gold foil experiment has been performed by Geiger–Marsden for the analysis of the atom.
They bombard a beam of radiation onto the gold foil and observed the scattering of the beam. They found that the maximum mass of the gold foil has been concentrated and caused the maximum scattering.
The experiment has been able to deduce the revolving electrons around the concentrated mass, which is not stationary. They named the center concentrated mass as the nucleus and tell that it has +ve charge. The -ve charged electrons are concluded to be found outside the +ve nucleus.
