The experiments on the scattering of particles and waves in matter, carried out since the time of Rutherford, gave rise to a nuclear model of an atom.

Nevertheless, they did not provide convincing evidence that each atom has one scattering site, moreover, in the form of a superdense atomic nucleus.

In view of the new concept of the structure of atoms developed by the author, according to which atoms are molecular-like formations, the Rutherford theory of scattering of particles in matter has been revised and replaced by a new one.

How this was done is shown here.
