Why Was Rutherford Important

In my opinion, Rutherford was the most important because we would never know that the electrons either went through or deflected the gold foil. His discovery contributed to the model of the atom by knowing about the nucleus contains most of the mass of an atom. This discovery also helps us know that the majority of the nucleus contained mostly of protons, which includes that the electrons are negative on the outside of the atom and the atom is made up of neutral electrons.
