Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden.
Rutherford was the supervisor and explained the unexpected results, so his name is usually attached to the experiment as well, but it was Geiger and Marsden who actually did it.

Who discovered the positive charge of a nucleus?
Ernest Rutherford is the scientist that discovered the positively charged nucleus.
What effect will one positive charge have on another positive charge?
This is one of the fundamental laws of charges. Like charges repel, and opposite charges, your positive and negative ones, attract each other.
What do you call matter that has a balance of positive and negative charges?
Neutral charges
3 positive charges and 4 negative charges what is the overall charge of an atom?
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
Their respective charges are?
Positive, negative, neutral
Which scientist first described the nucleus as a dense inner core containing all the positive charges in an atom?
Rutherford.
When electrons were discovered scientist inferred that neutral atoms contain positive charges because?
Scientists inferred that nuetral atoms contained postitive charges, because electrons contained negative charges.
Do positive objects contain only positive charges?
No. A positive ion merely has more positive charges (protons) than negative charges (electrons).
Will positive and positive repel or attract?
'Like' charges (both positive or both negative) repel.Unlike charges (one of each) attract.
What type of particles gather near the bottom of clouds before energy is released as lightning?
the answer is both positive and negitive charges and that is because to make lighting it has to be positive and negitive charges because if there is both 2 negitive charges will both repel and the same thing will happen to positive charges but when positive and negitive charges and positive charges will attract
Who discovered the positive charge of a nucleus?
Ernest Rutherford is the scientist that discovered the positively charged nucleus.
Why does positive and positive charges repels in a cell?
Because like charges repel each other.
Atoms have higher number of positive charges than negative charges?
the positive number of a atom
What causes a substance to have a positive charge?
the object has to have more positive charges than negative charges.
What is a continuous flow of positive charges called?
The continuous flow of positive charges is called current
Will positive and positive attract or repel?
'Like' charges (both positive or both negative) repel.Unlike charges (one of each) attract.
Does wool have a negative or positive charge?
both because every object has both positive and negative charges but mainly has positive charges.
