Ernest Rutherford's famous "gold foil" experiment changed the way we though of atomic structure. His demonstration proved that atoms have a small, dense nucleus which contains protons and neutrons. The electrons were shown to be outside the nucleus. Prior to this, we thought atoms had a consistent structure throughout, like soup or pudding.
