Who's atomic model did Moseley refine?
Ernest Rutherford
Niels Bohr
James Chadwick
Isaac Newton
Answer
Ernest Rutherford's atomic model was the first to propose that the atom was not a solid sphere, but instead had a dense nucleus surrounded by electrons. This model was based on his experiments with alpha particles, which he found were deflected by positively charged particles in the nucleus. However, Rutherford's model did not account for the different chemical properties of elements, which led Henry Moseley to refine it.
