Answer:
The Rutherford model was devised by the New Zealand-born physicist 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.

Explanation:
- Rutherford proposed that an atom is composed of empty space mostly with electrons orbiting in a set, predictable paths around fixed, positively charged nucleus.
- He proposed a model on the basis of that where he explained electrons were embedded uniformly in a positively charged matrix.
- The model was named plum pudding model. However, J.J. Thomson’s plum pudding model had some limitations.
- It failed to explain certain experimental results related to the atomic structure of elements.
