In this experiment, he studied the trajectory of the -particles after interaction with the thin sheet of gold. still, there was no clear model that defines atoms, therefore in 1909, Ernest Rutherford, a British scientist conducted an experiment and based on the experiment he observed and proposed the atomic structure of elements and Rutherford Atomic Model.
