What did Rutherford discover about atom structure?

Answer 1

Rutherford oversaw the gold foil experiment. This experiment showed that the atom is mostly empty space and that most of its mass is concentrated in a tiny central core called the atomic nucleus.

Answer 2

Rutherford by passing interpretation about the famous alpha particle scattering experiment came to the conclusion that the positively charged nucleus is of small size of the order of 10-15 m where as the atom size is of the order of 10-11m

Answer 3

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.

Also Rutherford discovered atomic nucleus and the proton.

Answer 4

Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus and the proton.

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.

Answer 5

Rutherford's experiments led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus, which is a dense, positively charged center of an atom. He proposed the planetary model of the atom, where electrons orbit around the nucleus similar to planets around the sun. This model revolutionized the understanding of atomic structure.

Answer 6

Do you mean Ernest Rutherford? Because he is famous for discovering the structure of an atom's nucleus without even looking at it.

Answer 7

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.
