Rutherford and Soddy's theory stated that uranium successively disintegrated to lead. Rutherford discover the proton. He also discovered that the atom is mostly space.

According to Thomson's atomic theory, the mass of an atom was special evenly throughout its volume. Errest Rutherford's experiment proved this wrong.
Rutherford's theory proposed that atoms have a dense, positively charged nucleus. This led to the understanding that atoms are mostly empty space with electrons orbiting the nucleus. This laid the foundation for the modern atomic theory, which further developed with the discovery of subatomic particles and the concept of atomic number.
In 1910, a physicist from New Zealand, Ernest Rutherford performed an experiment known as Rutherfordâ??s gold foil experiment. After Rutherford's theory, scientists began to consider that the atom is not a single particle, but it is made up of very smaller subatomic particles.
Rutherford's theory was correct because it proposed the existence of a compact, positively charged nucleus at the center of an atom surrounded by negatively charged electrons. This model explained the results of his gold foil experiment, where some alpha particles were deflected at large angles, indicating a concentrated positive charge at the nucleus. Subsequent experiments and observations confirmed the fundamental features of Rutherford's atomic model.
Rutherford's theory is known as the Rutherford model or Rutherford atomic model. It describes the structure of an atom as a dense positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons.

Ernest Rutherford conducted his studies to test J.J Thompsons 'Plum Pudding' theory.

Ernest Rutherford contributed to the atomic theory through his gold foil experiment. He discovered that there was a positively charged central core to the atom and he called it the nucleus.
Rutherford and Soddy's theory stated that uranium successively disintegrated to lead. Rutherford discover the proton. He also discovered that the atom is mostly space.
The Rutherford-Atomic Theory was published by Ernest Rutherford. It described the atom as having a central positive nucleus surrounded by negative orbiting electrons.
Rutherford discovered and proposed the theory that every atom consists of Nucleus. electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular orbits. His theory is regarded as Nuclear theory of atomic model. He also proposed the theory of neutrons. James chadwick one of his associates proved that and earned nobel prize
