Answer:
Rutherford’s model experiment was conducted by bombarding high-energy α-particles on the gold foil of very little thickness. The α-particles were generated from a radioactive source. He conducted the experiment to analyze the deflection generated in the trajectory of α-particles after interaction with the thin sheet of gold.

Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his famous gold-foil experiment, in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny, massive nucleus. Most of the alpha particles went straight through the foil, but some were deflected by the foil and hit a spot on a screen placed off to one side.
