1909 Golden Foil experiment
-Fired positivley charged alpha particles at a very thin sheet of gold
-From the plum pudding model, it was expected that the positive particles would be deflected slightly, however most of the particles passed straight through, proving the plum pudding model to be wrong.
Nuclear model of the atom
-Designed by Rutherford after his experiment
-Tiny, positivley charged nucleas in the middle, surrounded by a 'cloud' of electrons
-Much of the atoms is empty space.
