Answer 2

He invented a radio receiver, discovered that atoms were not indestructible, discovered alpha and beta radioactivity, interpreted the famous gold foil experiments to form the Rutherford model of the atom, discovered the atomic nucleus and the proton, and performed the first induced nuclear reaction.

Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny and heavy nucleus. Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.
