He proposed a new model of the atom in which there is a small dense positively charged nucleus with negatively charged electrons around the outside. The electrons are far away in comparison to the size of nucleus, so the majority of the atom is made up of empty space.

Describe Rutherford's atom and compare it with the model proposed by his student Neil Bohr?

Rutherford's atom compared to the model proposed by his student Neils Bohr is very similar. Rutherford proposed a small positively charged nucleus with electrons orbiting around it. Bohr improved on this model by adding quantized energy levels to the orbits of electrons around positively charged nucleus.

Who invented Rutherford's nuclear atom?

Ernest Rutherford is credited with the development of the "Rutherford Model" of the atom, which proposed that the atom consisted of a small, dense nucleus containing positively charged protons orbited by negatively charged electrons. This model was developed in 1911 based on experiments conducted in his laboratory.
