What is significant about Ernest Rutherford?

Answer 1

Rutherford came up with the basic structure of an atom using his gold foil experiment. He shot alpha particles(hydrogen nuclei) at a peice of gold foil and watched the results. He found from this experiment that the atom contains a dense, positively charged nucleus, negative particles in "electron clouds" and is made up of mostly empty space.

Answer 2

because it's the first theory which proved the existence of a nucleus in an atom where positively charged particles(protons) are segregated..this was proved by the gold foil experiment carried out by 2 students of rutherford!

Answer 3

Ernest Rutherford is known for his pioneering work in nuclear physics, particularly for his discovery of the atomic nucleus and development of the planetary model of the atom. He was also instrumental in the field of radioactivity, which laid the groundwork for modern nuclear physics and our understanding of the structure of the atom. Rutherford's contributions were crucial in shaping our understanding of the fundamental particles that make up matter.

Answer 4

because he proposed an atomic model for elements and he expressed that electrons turns around the proton in circuits .

Answer 5

because he is a scientist

Answer 6

I believe the answer is unknown.
