that protons can ,move to one electron to the other
no i belive he did the gold foil experiment which proved the existence of the nucleus, he fired protons at an atom and 1 in every 30,000 bounced back.
Ernest Rutherford
The gold foil experiment, because it proved that there were nuclei in the atoms
Ernest Rutherford's hypothesis for his Gold Foil experiment was that atoms have a dense positive nucleus at their center and that most of the atom's mass is concentrated in this small nucleus. He proposed this after observing the scattering pattern of alpha particles in the gold foil.
Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment provided evidence for the existence of a small, positively charged nucleus at the center of the atom. This discovery led to the development of the nuclear model of the atom and overturned the previous plum pudding model.
Ernest Rutherford proved it with his famous gold foil experiment.
The gold foil experiment supplanted the plum pudding theory. The gold foil experiment led to the discovery that most of the atoms mass is located in the dense nucleus.
th gold foil experiment
Rutherford supervised the experiment in his famous beta particle scatter experiment with gold foil, so he is given credit.
For Rutherford's gold foil experiment, you will need the following materials: thin gold foil, alpha particles, a source for the alpha particles, a fluorescent screen or detector to observe the scattered particles, and a vacuum chamber to prevent air molecules from interfering with the experiment.
The gold-foil experiment led scientists to conclude that an atom's volume is mainly unoccupied.
The Gold Foil Experiment, conducted by Ernest Rutherford, proved the existence of the atomic nucleus. The experiment showed that most of the atom's mass and positive charge is concentrated in a small, dense nucleus at the center of the atom. This discovery revolutionized our understanding of atomic structure.
