    __________ proposed the nucleus to the atom.

    Explanation
    Rutherford proposed the nucleus to the atom. This is because through his famous gold foil experiment, he discovered that atoms have a tiny, dense, and positively charged nucleus at the center, surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. This groundbreaking discovery revolutionized the understanding of atomic structure and led to the development of the modern atomic model.
