Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.
This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles (helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons).
Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film and notice that most of alpha particles passed straight through foil.
That is different from Plum Pudding model, because it shows that most of the atom is empty space.
According to Rutherford model of the atom:
1) Atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.
2) Major space in an atom is empty.
3) Atoms nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electrons.
4) An atom is electrically neutral.

The SI unit for mass is Kilogram (kg).
Answer:
Transition Element
Explanation:
Transition elements are defined as those elements which can form at least one stable ion and has partially filled d-orbitals. They are also characterized by forming complex compounds and having different oxidation states for a single metal element.
Transition metals are present between the metals and the non metals in the periodic table occupying groups from 3 to 12. There general electronic configuration is as follow,
(n-1)d
¹⁻¹⁰ns
¹⁻²
The general configuration shows that for a given metal, the d sublevel will be in lower energy level as compared to corresponding s sublevel. For example,
Scandium is present in fourth period hence, its s sublevel is present in 4rth energy level so its d sublevel will be present in 3rd energy level respectively.
Hence, we can conclude that for transition metals the electron are present in highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel
