What did Ernest Rutherford add to are knowledge of atoms?

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.


What early theory of atomic structure described electrons as moving around a central nucleus similar to the solar system?

The early theory of atomic structure that described electrons as moving around a central nucleus similar to the solar system is known as the Rutherford atomic model. Proposed by Ernest Rutherford in 1911, this model suggested that electrons orbit the nucleus in defined paths.


What was the first atomic model to contain empty space within it?

The atomic model that contained empty spaces within it was given by Mendeleev. The gaps were left for the elements that were not discovered at that time.
