Gold foil experiment
The gold foil experiment demonstrated this.
E. Rutherford developed his atomic model due to the results of his gold foil experiment. His atomic model describes a small central, dense core and a surrounding volume of charged particles.
was wandering the smae thing but i think they just developed rutherfords theory by doing the gold foil experiment in depth

dalton wasnt the one who experimented with gold, rutherford was the one who did the gold foil experiment.
He realized that an atom is mostly made of empty space.
The electrons would have been attracted to the atomic nuclei of the gold foil.
Earnest Rutherford's experiment,"Gold Foil", led to the discovery the of a Small,dense and positively charged Nucleus
This is the well known gold foil experiment: alpha particles are scattered by the atomic nucleus.
