Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus and the proton. Rutherford don't discovered the atom.
A short answer for the Rutherford atomic model: the atom is composed from a central part - a nucleus, positively charged, surrounded by electrons - very small negative charged particles.
Ernest Rutherford used the technology of radioactivity and conducted the famous gold foil experiment to discover the structure of the atom. By directing alpha particles at a thin gold foil, he observed how they were deflected, which led to the understanding that atoms have a small, positively charged nucleus at their center.
Ernest Rutherford is known for his famous gold foil experiment, which led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus and the proposal of the nuclear model of the atom. His work helped to refine the understanding of the structure of the atom and laid the foundation for the development of modern atomic theory.
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.
Brilliant experimental physicist and one of the founders of nuclear physics
Ernest Rutherford is credited with creating the nuclear model of an atom. In 1911, his gold foil experiment demonstrated that atoms have a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. This model laid the foundation for our modern understanding of atomic structure.
Ernest Rutherford worked in Manchester (UK) and at Mac Gill (Canada).
The proton was discovered by Ernest Rutherford in 1917. Rutherford identified the proton while conducting experiments on the structure of the atom.
Because he wanted to.
in 1897

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford discovered the nucleus of the atom. Rutherford was born in New Zealand in 1871 and became known as the father of nuclear physics.
Bohr did not discover this. Ernest Rutherford 'discovered' the nucleus. This was done in 1911.
Ernest Rutherford was the man you are thinking of. He was the first person to 'split the atom'.
Ernest Rutherford is generally credited with the discovery of the proton
The structure of the atom was discovered by Ernest Rutherford and Niels Bohr. Rutherford's gold foil experiment led to the discovery of the nucleus, while Bohr proposed the planetary model of the atom with electrons orbiting the nucleus in specific energy levels.
This was an idea of Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) from 1911.
