    The α form of the tetrahydrate has density 1.33 g/cm 3. It melts congruously at 7.55 °C into a liquid with 35.7% NaOH and density 1.392 g/cm 3 , and therefore floats on it like ice on water. However, at about 4.9 °C it may instead melt incongruously into a mixture of solid NaOH·3.5H 2 O and a liquid solution.

    The gold foil experiment showed large deflections for a small fraction of incident particles. Rutherford realized that, because some of the alpha particles were deflected or reflected, the atom had a concentrated centre of positive charge and of relatively large mass – Rutherford later termed this positive center the " atomic nucleus ".
