Ernest Rutherford (1 gen 1908 anni – 30 dic 1913 anni)

Descrizione:

New Zealand physicist Ernest Rutherford disproved the plum pudding model with his Gold-Foil experiment. This experiment involved flashing an alpha particle beam through a gold piece of foil. Most of the beam passed through the foil, but some particles were scattered in certain places. This lead to the conclusion that atoms had a dense nucleus where the atom's mass was condensed.
