what is the plum-pudding model?
a ball of positive charge with electrons scattered randomly throughout, no empty space, no protons neutrons or nucleus, JJ Thompson.
What did Earnest Rutherford do?
He discovered the nucleus.
How did Rutherford discover the nucleus?
Rutherford fired positive particles at an atom, most went straight through meaning there was empty space, but some deflected as the positive charge of the nucleus repelled them like magnets and some bounced back showing there is a small, dense nucleus.
What did Bohr do?
Bohr discovered that electrons exist in shells
