Answer:

Ernest Rutherford is known for his work with the gold foil experiment and the discovery of the atomic nucleus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ernest Rutherford was a British physicist and chemist born in New Zealand.

He devoted himself to the study of radioactive particles. He found that the radioactivity was accompanied by a disintegration of the elements, which earned him to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908. He created an atomic model, with which he proved the existence of the atomic nucleus, in which all the positive charge and almost the entire mass of the atom is found.
