J. ThomsonCompared with: Rutherford’s model replaced Thomson’s diffuse positive sphere after alpha-particle scattering revealed a nucleus.Atomic theoryCompared with: It introduced the nuclear atom but could not explain atomic stability or spectra.Hans GeigerRelated: The model explained the large-angle alpha-particle deflections recorded by Geiger and Marsden.Geiger–Marsden experimentBroader topic: Rutherford proposed this structure to explain the experiment’s rare, sharp deflections.Franck–Hertz experimentCompared with: The experiment tested discrete excitation energies absent from Rutherford’s classical planetary picture.Plum pudding modelCompared with: It replaced the model after scattering evidence showed positive charge concentrated in a nucleus.Discovery of the neutronNarrower topic: The model left nuclear mass unexplained without additional neutral material.History of atomic theoryCompared with: Its classical orbiting electrons could not explain atomic stability or line spectra.Rutherford scattering experimentsBroader topic: Rutherford proposed this model to explain the observed scattering.
