Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny and heavy nucleus. Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.

Answer:

beam of particles and their scattering after hitting on gold foil.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rutherford’s theory was identified by beam of particles. The nucleus is present in the center of the atom. The nucleus consist of protons and neutrons. The mass of atom is majorly due to protons and neutrons. The nucleus is surrounded by the electrons.

The results were observed by placing the magnet after beam of electrons.
