In simple terms, that assertion is correct, but for those with an expertise in the field, the longer answer to who did it ...

Bohr went on to make enormous contributions to physics and, like Rutherford, to train a new generation of physicists. But his atomic model remains the best known work of a very long career.

In 1913, Niels Bohr revised Rutherford's model by suggesting that the electrons ... However, there was still a difference between the atomic number of the atom and the atomic mass.

Changes to the atomic model Atoms have a central positive nucleus. Most of the mass of an atom is found in the nucleus. New evidence In-depth work on Rutherford's model showed it had limitations.

Many of those leaping on it suggested the honour was an Anglo-New Zealander one, as it was Sir Ernest Rutherford ... atomic science is filtered through the lens of the top secret Manhattan Project ...
