Information to make scientifically supported judgments by describing the Importance of Ernest Rutherford's gold-foil experiment.

Rutherford's experiment led to the rejection of JJ Thomson's raisin bundle model. In the experiment, a thin gold strip was bombarded with alpha particles. According to Thomson's atomic model, all alpha particles should have passed through the strip, but in this experiment it was found that some of the particles were reflected backwards. Based on his experiment, Rutherford published the result that almost the entire mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus. Rutherford's atomic model was later improved by Niels Bohr, who published the Bohr model.
