Rutherford, with his gold foil experiment.
It was Ernest Rutherford who discovered that atoms are mostly composed of empty space with electrons orbiting a very dense nucleus.
Ernest Rutherford.... The Great Scientist.Hope this helped! :D
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
bohr
Rutherford
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.)
Not likely. Atoms are mostly empty space.
Ernest Rutherford mostly believed in that it was mostly empty space with positively charged atoms.
Ernest Rutherford is credited with discovering that atoms are mostly comprised of empty space. Through his gold foil experiment in 1909, he showed that atoms have a dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by mostly empty space where electrons orbit.
He discovered that the atom was mostly made up of empty space.
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.
