RUTHERFORD :[)

Okay first, I made up a new smiley face (this has nothing to do with science I just needed to tell everyone) it looks like this :{) or this :[) or this :(] or this :{0 ha ha or anything like that.... I bet someone probably already invented it but i just now discovered it >:{)) yay!

ANYWAY, Rutherford took a piece of gold foil and he passed rays over it and it caught them back on a screen after passing through the gold foil. Then he observed what had happened. Rutherford also discovered the Nucleus and Protons and later the "Peach-Pit Model". This model showed that an atom had a Nucleus in the center and Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons outside of the Nucleus. This is like a peach because peaches have a pit in the center and have the flesh of the peach on the outside of the pit.
