Ernest Rutherford.... The Great Scientist.
Hope this helped! :D
Rutherford, with his gold foil experiment.
Anybody who knows much about atoms and is willing to ignore virtual particles. The credit for actually discovering this should probably go to Rutherford. (Or Rutherford, Geiger, and Marsden ... Geiger and Marsden actually did the experiment in Rutherford's lab, and Rutherford was the one who explained the results.)
It was Ernest Rutherford who discovered that atoms are mostly composed of empty space with electrons orbiting a very dense nucleus.
Ernest Rutherford is the scientist who conducted the gold foil experiment in 1909, which led to the discovery that atoms contain a nucleus at their center. This experiment showed that the nucleus is small and positively charged, while the rest of the atom is mostly empty space.
He discovered that the atom was mostly made up of empty space.
The body is made of bones,fat,cells,blood,and atoms. Because of atoms your body is mostly empty space The body is made of bones,fat,cells,blood,and atoms. Because of atoms your body is mostly empty space The body is made of bones,fat,cells,blood,and atoms. Because of atoms your body is mostly empty space
Yes. In 1908, Rutherford conducted an experiment of shooting a beam of alpha particles through a sheet of tinfoil. Most of the alpha particles went straight through the foil, which proves that there are empty spaces in atoms. And the rest of the particles that didn't go straight through the foil are deflected at acute angles, those particles are deflected by the positive nucleus in the center of the atoms.

Not likely. Atoms are mostly empty space.
Rutherford
Ernest Rutherford mostly believed in that it was mostly empty space with positively charged atoms.
Rutherford's gold-foil experiment determined that atoms have a small, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center, surrounded by mostly empty space with electrons moving around it. This discovery led to the development of the nuclear model of the atom.
