In Newton's time the atom was thought to be a small hard indestructible sphere, this was a good model for the kinetic theory of gasses, but new models had to be developed in order to explain the electric nature of atoms. Ernest Rutherford and a couple of his students in 1911 performed an experiment where they shot positively charged alpha particles at a piece of foil and interesting enough the most of the alpha particles passed right through the foil and some bounced back. This lead Rutherford to conclude his planetary model, although a good model but it does have a couple problems. Ch28.2 If ...
