El descubrimiento del átomo

Ernest Rutherford's career began with a scholarship from the University of Cambridge, leading to significant scientific achievements. He became renowned for his work on radioactivity, earning a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Rutherford's most notable contribution was discovering the atomic structure through the gold foil experiment, revealing a dense nucleus surrounded by electrons. This discovery laid the foundation for nuclear physics, impacting science profoundly. Rutherford continued his work until his death in 1937, leaving a lasting legacy as one of the most important scientists, second only to Newton, according to Einstein.
