Before Rutherford, scientists assumed that the atom was a single
particle. Rutherford presented his revolutionary, physical atomic
model that suggested an atom consists of a central charge (the term
'nucleus' was coined after Rutherford's model was presented) that
is surrounded, presumably, by a cloud of orbiting electrons. He
showed that most of an atom's mass was located in the atom's
nucleus.
Rutherford's model was later improved upon by Niels Bohr, father
of the Bohr-model. Rutherford made no connection to an element's
atomic number and the number of protons within an atom's nucleus;
however, his atomic model paved the way for the discovery of this
correlation only a couple years after his model was designed.
