Which of the following statements about Rutherford’s model of atom are correct? (i) Considered the nucleus as positively charged. (ii) Established that the - particles are four times as heavy as a hydrogen atom (iii) Can be compared to solar system (iv) Was in agreement with Thomson’s model

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Rutherford’s atomic model has the following features:-

i. There is a positively charged centre in an atom called the nucleus. Nearly all the mass of an atom resides inside the nucleus.

ii. The electrons revolve around the nucleus in well-defined orbits which can be compared to solar system.

iii. The size of the nucleus is very small as compared to the size of an atom.

Hence, statement I and iii are correct t.

So, the correct option is A.
