He didn't exactly "discover" the nucleus. In 1911 he theorized about the atom having its positive charges in a very small nucleus. In 1921 he postulated about the existence of the neutron in the nucleus. The first experiment to split the atom in a controlled manner was performed by him and two students in 1932.
Ernest Rutherford did his alpha particle scattering experiment in 1909 but presented his theory on nucleus in 1911.
The nucleus was discovered in 1899
Rutherford discovered it in 1919
1922

Ernest Rutherford
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.
In 1911 the existence of the atomic nucleus was discovered by Ernest Rutherford through his interpretation of the gold foil experiment conducted two years earlier by Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden. In 1932 Dmitry Ivanenko proposed the proton-neutron model of the nucleus.
Bohr formulated new explanation and theories to remove Rutherford defect in Rutherford atomic model thats why Bohr atomic model is better than Rutherford atomic model.
The modern atomic model is elaborated by Niels Bohr.
Ernest Rutherford created the nuclear model of an atom!

Ernest Rutherford was an investigator of atomic theory, and it was his model of the atom, the one with the mass concentrated in the center, that replaced the J.J. Thompson model. Links are provided below.
its was Ernest Rutherford who proposed the planetary atomic model
The Rutherford-Atomic Theory was published by Ernest Rutherford. It described the atom as having a central positive nucleus surrounded by negative orbiting electrons.

He placed positive material in the atom's center.
The ''plum pudding atomic model" is from J. J. Thomson, year 1904.
E. Rutherford developed his atomic model due to the results of his gold foil experiment. His atomic model describes a small central, dense core and a surrounding volume of charged particles.
