Dear student,
 
The electrons in the atom must be orbiting around this central core, like planets around the sun, Rutherford proposed. Rutherford carried out a fairly simple calculation to find the size of the nucleus, and found it to be only about 1/100,000 the size of the atom. The atom was mostly empty space.
