The scientist that developed the iconic atom model that depicts a nucleus surrounded by electrons was Ernest Rutherford. Rutherford developed the model in 1911 after displaying some experiments that showed that the J.J.Thomson model was incorrect. Rutherford's experiment showed that an atom is a small but heavy central particle and is surrounded by a cloud of electrons. This was the opposite of what Thomson's model proposed.

Which scientist discovered Movement of electrons about a central nucleus is a concept?
dalton
Who was the danish scientist that proposed electrons orbit around the nucleus?
Mark Joseph Fabian - Philippines
What did Rutherford proposed with regards to the structure of atoms?
Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus and the proton. Rutherford don't discovered the atom. A short answer for the Rutherford atomic model: the atom is composed from a central part - a nucleus, positively charged, surrounded by electrons - very small negative charged particles.
Which part flows freely aroud the nucleus?
Electrons flow around the nucleus
The part of an atom orbits the nucleus?
Electrons orbit the nucleus. The nucleus is comprised of protons and neutrons.
What is found in the core of an atom according to scientist Rutherford?
According to scientist Rutherford, in the core of an atom is a positively charged nucleus and the nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged electrons.
Is at the center of an atom and is surrounded by the?
Nucleus is at the center of atom. It is surrounded by electrons.
What is surrounded by nucleus?
electrons and protons but protons are closer
Surrounded the nucleus of an atom?
Ok, I think you mean electons. The nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. An electron has a negative charge. It is so light, it has negligible mass. The atom Hydrogen has only one proton as its nucleus, surrounded by its one electron. Oxygen has, of the top of my head, 8? electrons. These electrons move in orbitals around the proton. Without going into complicated detail, that's all I can tell you I'm afraid.
Rutherford pictured the atom as a dense?
Nucleus surrounded by electrons
What are the parts connected with the structure of the nucleus?
the nucleus is surrounded by electrons, protons and neutrons. Inside the nucleus are quarks. (for the nucleus in an atom only)
What is the contribution of a foriegn scientist?
Ernest Rutherford was the first person to transmute an element. He also produced the model of an atom in which a tiny nucleus was surrounded by a vast space in which the electrons moved.
The Nucleaus of an atom is made from what?
The nucleus of an atom is made of 'Protons' and 'Neutrons'. The nucleus of an atom is then surrounded by 'Electrons'.
In every atom are the electrons surrounded by a positively charged nucleus?
Yes - in any atom, you will find protons (+ charge) and neutrons (neutral or 0 charge) in the atom's nucleus. You will find the electrons (- charge) outside the nucleus in the electron cloud.
What is the name of the scientist who developed the quantum mechanical model for electrons orbiting the nucleus?
Was it not Neils Bohr. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Bohr#Atomic_research
Where is the nucleus found in the atom?
The nucleus is the dense center of an atom made of neutrons and protons surrounded by clouds of electrons.
Which atom did the scientist Rutherford discover?
Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus and the proton. A short answer for the Rutherford atomic model: the atom is composed from a central part - a nucleus, positively charged, surrounded by electrons - very small negative charged particles.
