Rutherford (1871–1937) was responsible for a remarkable series of discoveries in the physics, especially in the atomic model.

He identified the atomic nuclei - a relatively high central charge concentrated into a very small volume in comparison to the rest of the atom.

Rutherford was the first person to make a model of an atom that was mostly accurate, the only thing is in his early model there were electrons and protons, at this time Rutherford did not know of a neutron and was not discovered until 1932.
