His experiment with the gold foil and the beam of positively charged particles proved that the nucleus of the atom is not solid. The beam past through the foil and bounced back. Rutherford's experiment contradicted Thomson's theory that an atom is solid.
it is an atom. atoms help form the particles.
Rutherford compared an atom to a solar system. But this would mean that as the electrons rotate they radiate energy and as they do so the radius of their path would keep on decreasing and would ultimately collide with the nucleus and the atom would be destroyed. but we know that this does not happen. Bohr on the other hand stated that the electrons rotate in specific orbits.
A charged particle that forms when an atom transfers electrons is an ion. An atom that loses an electron forms a positively charged ion called a cation; an atom that gains an electron forms a negatively charged ion called an anion.
Protons and neutrons form the nucleusof the atom with electons orbiting it
Bohr built upon the contemporary theory and models such as those of Rutherford and proposed an atomic model with most of the atom's mass concentrated in the center (later referred to as the nucleus) and electrons around the center arranged in orbits in discrete positions or energy levels; this explained some experimental findings consistent with emerging quantum theory.
The atomic model of Rutherford was a step in the historical development of the today concept of an atom.

Niels Bohr is considered the founder of the modern atomic model.
Carbon with oxygen.
it starts to break down into it's simplest form
A Bohr model--Indicate all the electrons in the atom,in various shells in the atom. In the form of planetary model like nucleus is the center&electrons are surrounding it. A Lewis model--Indicate only the electrons in the outermost shell in the atom. In the form of electron dot structures we can write an atom in the middle & surrounding will be the valence electrons in the form of dot's.
The atomic model in which electrons orbit the nucleus the way that planets orbit the sun is called the Bohr atom. We now know that atoms are really not very much like that at all, and electrons do not orbit the nucleus, they form shells, rather than orbits.
The no. of holes that a ball stick model has is equal to an atom's no. of valence electrons, or the no. of bonds that it can form.
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.
An atom is the smallest form of particle.
The electron cloud form the electrically negative part of an atom; electrons are responsible for the chemical activity of elements.
A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.
