Which scientist is correctly matched with his contribution to atomic theory? rutherford inferred the existence of a dense, positively charged nucleus based on results of a scattering experiment. bohr confirmed the existence of protons in the nucleus. einstein carried out the photoelectric effect experiment to show that light has particle-like properties. schrödinger proposed a planetary model of the atom to explain the emission spectrum of hydrogen.

Answer

Rutherford inferred the existence of a dense, positively charged nucleus based on results of a scattering experiment.

Explanation

Bohr proposed a planetary model of the atom to explain the emission spectrum of hydrogen. Hence option B is incorrect.

Einstein explained the observation of the photoelectric effect experiment by stating that light has particle-like properties. Hence option C is incorrect.

Schrödinger proposed that electrons have wave like nature.  Hence option D is incorrect.
