Answers
➡️The Rutherford model was devised by Ernest Rutherford to describe an atom.
➡️Rutherford directed the Geiger–Marsden experiment in 1909 which suggested, upon Rutherford's 1911 analysis, that J. J. Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom was incorrect
Ernest Rutherford was the first scientist who found that the positive charge and entire mass of the atom is present in the centre of an atom.
He gave this idea by his Gold foil experiment which is also called as Rutherford's experiment.
_____________________________
» According to Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom, the entire positive charge and most of the mass of the atom are concentrated in the nucleus with the electrons some distance away.
» According to him, electrons would be moving in orbits about the nucleus just as the planets around the sun.
» Rutherford suggests that the size of the nucleus to be about 10^-15 m to 10^-14 m.
