Although Rutherford is credited with the famous gold foil scattering experiment, he didn’t actually conduct this experiment himself. It was done by two of his assistants, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden. Do you think it was fair to name the experiment after Rutherford while ignoring the other two scientists? Why or why not? Give credible arguments for your answer.
