Ernest Rutherford: He lived in Brightwater, New
Zealand. The empty space model was created
by him. The experiment he performed was
called the gold foil experiment. In this
experiment he used Radium as the source of
the alpha particles. He shot at a thin gold foil
which was like aluminum but made out of gold.
He observed the impact of the alpha particles.
With this experiment he found out that the
nucleus is a small dense and positive and the
electrons revolve around the nucleus. (1 Jan 0 Jahr – 14 Feb 1871 Jahr)
