Rutherford's experiment made important discoveries regarding the atom and discarded
J.J. Thomson's model. Thomson's model said that electrons and protons are together
uniformly distributed in the atom but Rutherford's model proved that most of the space
in an atom is empty and it consists of a heavy centre where all the positive charge is concentrated.
He also said that electrons revolved around the nucleus but was unable to give proper
explanation for it.

Some chemistry experiment involving shooting atoms at gold tin foil..basically finding electrons. However, the question you should be asking in the world of chemistry is: Who is Alice Hoffman?
What was Louis Pasteur's conclusion on the broth experiment?
that non-living thing cant rising living thing and prove that spontaneous generation is wrong.
What was ernest rutherfords's experiment?
he shot tiny alpha particles throug a piece of gold foil.
What did ernest rutherfords gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms?

What was Ernest Rutherfords job?

What were ernest Rutherfords children names?
Ernest and Mary gave birth to one daughter named Eileen Mary Rutherford
What were Lord Ernest Rutherfords Accomplishments?
he found faults in the atomic theory of jj Thompson
What did Ernest Rutherfords gold foil experiment demonstrate about an atom?
Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment demonstrated that atoms have a small, dense nucleus at their center that contains positively charged protons. This nucleus is surrounded by mostly empty space where negatively charged electrons are found orbiting. This experiment led to the development of the nuclear model of the atom.
What is Ernest Rutherfords personal and professional life in no more than 150 words?
Read at this link.
Was Rutherfords theory tested and published?
yes it was tested by the gold foil experiment
How does the design of Rutherfords experiment show what he was trying to find?
The presence of a tine nucleus
