Rutherford performed a famous experiment at Manchester University in which he fired alpha particles (the nucleus of a helium atom) at a very thin piece of gold foil in order to probe the structure of the atom. Before this experiment the "pudding plumb" model of the atom was widely accepted; which was a rather large nucleus (the plumb) surrounded by a soup of electrons that where evenly distributed (the pudding). When Rutherford performed his experiment he discovered something quite different, which was that most of the atom is just empty space with a very small, but very dense, nucleus surrounded by tiny electrons (relative to the nucleus). This was the first experiment performed that reviled the structure of the atom as we know it today.
