Answer:

The Plum Pudding model could not explain the results of the gold foil experiment conducted by Rutherford.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Plum Pudding model, there is no empty space in the atom. However, Rutherford's experiment showed that there is empty space in an atom.

Additionally, according to the Plum Pudding model, there is no scope for the nucleus. However, Rutherford's experiment also showed that there is a dense positively charged area in the center of the atom, which was the nucleus.
