Step-by-step explanation:
J.J. Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons.
Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup."
Rutherford's gold foil experiment showed that the atom is mostly empty space with a tiny, dense, positively-charged nucleus.
Based on these results, Rutherford proposed the nuclear model of the atom.
