Who is the scientist who suggested that atoms contain a hard core containing most of the mass of an atom?

The scientist that suggested and proved that atoms contained a nucleus in which most of the weight of the atom was contained (in a very small volume) was Ernest Rutherford, in 1909. This was shown in the 'gold foil' experiment. This was made by shooting positively charged alpha particles, or a positively charged helium atom (2 protons, 2 nuetrons). these then when shot at the gold foil. some of the alpha particles just passed through the gold foil, but some were deflected. this proving that some hit the nucleus while others did not.


Who's atomic theory stated that atoms have 3 fundamental parts and the electrons orbit the nucleus?

What did Henry moseley discover about the atom?

He found that atoms of each element contain a unique positive charge in their nucleus. This discovery helped to solve the mystery of what makes the atoms of one element different from those of another: An atom's identity comes from the number of protons in its nucleus.


Which scientist discovered the existence of a center to the atom?

Ernest Rutherford determined that atoms contain a small, dense (not thick), positively charged nucleus.
