Ernest Rutherford denied the plum pudding model.
Explanation:
In 1911, Rutherford interpreted the experimental results done by his disciples, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden. This led to the idea that positive charge in an atom is not like a "pudding", but exists in the center of the atom, i.e., the nucleus.
