Before Rutherford, scientists assumed that the atom was a single particle. Rutherford presented his revolutionary, physical atomic model that suggested an atom consists of a central charge (the term 'nucleus' was coined after Rutherford's model was presented) that is surrounded, presumably, by a cloud of orbiting electrons. He showed that most of an atom's mass was located in the atom's nucleus.
Rutherford's model was later improved upon by Niels Bohr, father of the Bohr-model. Rutherford made no connection to an element's atomic number and the number of protons within an atom's nucleus; however, his atomic model paved the way for the discovery of this correlation only a couple years after his model was designed.
E. Rutherford [1911]
- Studied the 'Atomic Model' and concluded that :-
DISCOVERY OF THE 'NUCLEUS'
The Rutherford model of the atom is basically a planetary model. It places the bulk of the mass in the center, and this nucleus is positively charged, and the electrons orbit that nucleus like planets about the sun. Simple and easy, and explaining observed results that the plum pudding model of J.J. Thompson could not support. A link can be found below to allow the curious person to further investigate.
What is the structure of atom as proposed by rutherford
It is called the "nuclear model"
Rutherford concluded that
1. Atom is mostly empty space
2. Atom has a nucleus at its center
3. Electrons surround the nucleus
what is rutherford, and structure.
rutherford atom model
Rutherford.
It is the scientist Rutherford. He proposed it in year 1919.
Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus, proposed a nuclear model of the atom also he isolated nitrogen.
Rutherford's atom compared to the model proposed by his student Neils Bohr is very similar. Rutherford proposed a small positively charged nucleus with electrons orbiting around it. Bohr improved on this model by adding quantized energy levels to the orbits of electrons around positively charged nucleus.
Any contribution of Franklin to the structure of atom; you think probably to Ernst Rutherford.

Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus and the proton. Rutherford don't discovered the atom. A short answer for the Rutherford atomic model: the atom is composed from a central part - a nucleus, positively charged, surrounded by electrons - very small negative charged particles.
Example of scientists: Dalton, Thomson. Rutherford, Bohr etc.
Rutherford's experiment was important because it showed that an atom is mostly empty space. Rutherford gave more detail of the atom's structure.

Ernest Rutherford worked in Manchester (UK) and at Mac Gill (Canada).
its was Ernest Rutherford who proposed the planetary atomic model
