Rutherford's most groundbreaking work came when he conducted the famous gold-foil experiment in 1909. In collaboration with Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, he directed alpha particles at a thin ...

In 1909, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden performed the Geiger-Marsden experiment, also known as Rutherford gold foil experiment, under the direction of Rutherford.

It was here that, in collaboration with Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, Rutherford carried out the “gold foil experiment” that would establish the structure of the atom as we know it.

The guy has a degree in chemical engineering.If he doesn’t have an instant gut feel for what 10^26 atoms (=166 moles) is, his degree is worthless, and so is his credibility as a science presenter.
