Detailed explanation-1: -Rutherford’s explanation, which he published in May 1911, was that the scattering was caused by a hard, dense core at the center of the atom–the nucleus. Ernest Rutherford was born in New Zealand, in 1871, one of 12 children.
Detailed explanation-2: -After tracing many particles and examining the patterns, Rutherford deduced that the atom must have nearly all its mass, and positive charge, in a central nucleus about 10, 000 times smaller than the atom itself.
Detailed explanation-3: -What did Ernest Rutherford discover about the atom? Ernest Rutherford found that the atom is mostly empty space, with nearly all of its mass concentrated in a tiny central nucleus. The nucleus is positively charged and surrounded at a great distance by the negatively charged electrons.
