Best Answer

He completely changed the atomic model of his time to something that is quite similar to the current model of the atom. His "alpha scattering experiment" provided the evidence that the atom was mainly empty space, and that most of its mass and all of its positive charge was located in a small, dense core(now called the nucleus).
