Quick Answer. The three parts of an atom are the protons, neutrons and electrons. Atoms make up the basic building blocks of matter and define the structure of elements. These parts were not officially identified until 1932.
Based on this strange experiment, Rutherford proposed a new idea of what an atom is. Rutherford said that most of an atom is empty space, where negatively charged electrons orbit. The only solid part of an atom is the nucleus, where the positively charge protons are found. The few alpha particles that bounced back were ones that just happened to hit the nucleus itself.
