1 jan 1909 ano - Ernerst Rutherford

Descrição:

Ernest Rutherford was another scientist that changed the atomic model. He felt that J.J. Thomson's model was incorrect, so he created a new one. He created the nucleus, and said that instead of the positive matter being the whole atom, it was just in the middle. He said the atom was mostly empty space and that the electrons surrounded the positive nucleus. This model influenced one of his own students to perfect the atomic model later on.
