The Rutherford model is a model by Ernest Rutherford.[1] It was created with the help of a experiment that used gold foil to direct alpha particles.[2][3] Thomson's plum pudding model was discovered to be wrong due to the new theory.[4] However, his model also had mistakes so the Bohr model came to replace his model.[5]
