Rutherford developed nuclear model:
In Rutherford's experiments, alpha particles were fired at a thin sheet of gold foil.
Most particles passed through, but some were deflected off course.
This caused him to hypothesise that there was a dense region of positive charge at the centre of the atom that repelled the alpha particles.
As a result he developed the nuclear model of the atom, in which there was a central positive nucleus, surround by negative electrons.
