Ernest did an experiment where he shot alpha particles into a gold foil that proved the concept of a nuclear atom,that is an atom with a nucleus made of protons and neutrons and have electrons moving around the nucleus in some way.His experiment did not show the position of electrons or energy levels or even how they moved.

∙ 14y agoRutherford contributed large amounts to atomic science, the most renowned of these was possibly the Rutherford or Planetary Model. The Rutherford Model shows the nucleus of an atom containing protons and neutrons being orbited by shells of electrons. Though now outdated, it is still taught in many schools and is used as the cartographic symbol for a nuclear power plant.

He didn't exactly "discover" the nucleus. In 1911 he theorized about the atom having its positive charges in a very small nucleus.
