> because he is smart lol TROLL
Ernest Rutherford mostly believed in that it was mostly empty space with positively charged atoms.
Anybody who knows much about atoms and is willing to ignore virtual particles. The credit for actually discovering this should probably go to Rutherford. (Or Rutherford, Geiger, and Marsden ... Geiger and Marsden actually did the experiment in Rutherford's lab, and Rutherford was the one who explained the results.)
Ernest Rutherford.... The Great Scientist.Hope this helped! :D
It was Ernest Rutherford who discovered that atoms are mostly composed of empty space with electrons orbiting a very dense nucleus.
The Rutherford gold foil experiment is a classic example that demonstrated atoms are mostly empty space. In this experiment, alpha particles were directed at a thin gold foil, and most particles passed through without being deflected, suggesting that atoms are mostly empty space with a small, dense nucleus.
Ernest Rutherford is credited with discovering that atoms are mostly comprised of empty space. Through his gold foil experiment in 1909, he showed that atoms have a dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by mostly empty space where electrons orbit.
Ernest Rutherford used the gold foil experiment to determine that the atom is mostly empty space. He directed alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold foil and found that while most particles passed through, some were deflected, leading him to conclude that atoms have a small, dense nucleus surrounded by mostly empty space.
Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus and the proposal of the nuclear model of the atom. He demonstrated that atoms are mostly empty space with a dense, positively charged nucleus at the center. This helped pave the way for further understanding of atomic structure and the development of the modern atomic theory.
Rutherford, with his gold foil experiment.

Ernest Rutherford's experiment results showed that atoms have a small, positively charged nucleus at the center. He also discovered that most of the atom's mass is concentrated in the nucleus, and that electrons orbit the nucleus in a mostly empty space.
Probably you refer to Ernest Rutherford.
