Ernest Rutherford adapted Rutherford's model by proposing specific electron orbits around the nucleus, leading to the Rutherford-Bohr model of the atom.
Ernest Rutherford was the scientist who adapted Rutherford's nuclear model by suggesting that electrons orbit the nucleus at specific distances. He proposed that the atom contained a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons orbiting in specific orbits, akin to a mini solar system.
This model, known as the Rutherford-Bohr model, described the atom as a system with a small, dense nucleus orbited by electrons attracted by electrostatic forces, similar to the structure of the Solar System.
However, further advancements in our understanding of atomic structure revealed that electrons actually form fuzzy clouds around the nucleus, deviating from the simplistic planetary model initially proposed by Rutherford.
