He preformed no experiments, had only the slimest piece of evidence for postulating the existance of atoms.
-
-
Determined that each chemical element is cohostof a unique type of atom. That the atoms defered by their masses.
-
Did experiments with a glass vaccume tube. The glass tube had two peices of metal called electrodes. The other cathode has a negative charge, one electrode, and one posotive charge. The were called cathode rays.
-
He discovered the alpha particle ,but had no further proof of it.
-
Placed a magnet beside the cathode ray. The beam is beant in the opposite direction of the magnet. Proton is the positive particle in the nucleus. Suggested a modle of the atom as a sphere of positive matter in which electrons are positition by electrostatic forces.

-
Ran tests on the Apha Particle.Studied from J.J. Thompsons work and wanted to prove it. He predicted that alpha paricles would go through a sheet of gold. Then after that he discovered the nucleous since the alpha particles would refract back to him.
-
Developed an explanation oatomic structyre that unlined regularites of the perdidic table of elements his atomic modle had orbits around the nucules.
