It is a chamber that consits of no particles and its inside, therefore, is a vaccum. (Get it? Evacuated > Vaccum).The volume inside of an evacuated chamber is zero and is used so an experiment conducted inside of it has little risk of being effected by particles. So in Rutherford's experiment, they use it so no gas particles/atoms/nuclei can get in the way of the alpha radiation which gets absorbed by the air after 5cm of travel and has such a large size and mass so the experiment has big chance of being affected by air particles.
Hope this helps :),

∙ 12y agoAn evacuated chamber is a sealed container from which air and other gases have been removed to create a vacuum. This is often done to conduct experiments in a controlled environment with minimal interference from air particles.
Over 55,000 people were evacuated from Jamaica.See the related link listed below for more information:
Approximately 60,000 to 80,000 people were evacuated from the vicinity of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991 before the eruption occurred.
Approximately 3 million people were evacuated during Hurricane Rita in 2005, making it one of the largest evacuations in U.S. history.
The Sarawak Chamber is the largest known cave chamber in the world. The Sarawak Chamber is a cave that is located underground in the country of Malaysia.
A magma chamber.
The mass of an evacuated chamber is primarily composed of the material of the chamber itself. It does not contain any additional matter or gas molecules if it has been properly evacuated.
A beampipe is the evacuated chamber through which a beam of particles is accelerated in a particle accelerator.
A partially evacuated chamber is used in an aneroid barometer because changes in atmospheric pressure will cause the flexible chamber to expand or contract, which is then measured and indicated on the barometer dial. This mechanism allows the aneroid barometer to measure variations in air pressure without the need for a liquid-filled chamber like in a traditional mercury barometer.
During World War II, many London children were evacuated to the countryside. When a storm came the town had to be evacuated. To create a low pressure chamber, the air is evacuated from a sturdy container.
Children were evacuated for their safety because of the bombings near their home, they would usually be evacuated to the countryside.
Evacuated from where?
Evacuated means 'removed from' .
effusion is the process where individual molecules flow through a hole without collisions between molecules. effusion is the process where the gas molecules are passed through a small opening to an evacuated chamber
Rutherford conducted the gold foil experiment in an evacuated chamber to reduce interference from air molecules that could affect the path of alpha particles. This ensured a clean environment for the experiment and allowed for more accurate measurements of the scattering of alpha particles by the gold foil, leading to the discovery of the atomic nucleus.
