Given below are two statements:
Statement I : Most of the mass of the atom and all its positive charge are concentrated in a tiny nucleus and the electrons revolve around it, is Rutherford's model.
Statement II : An atom is a spherical cloud of positive charges with electrons embedded in it, is a special case of Rutherford's model.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below
Solution
<p>According to Rutherford atomic model, most of mass of atom and all its positive charge is concentrated in tiny nucleus & electron revolve around it.</p>
<p>According to Thomson atomic model, atom is spherical cloud of positive charge with electron embedded in it.</p>
<p>Hence, Statement I is true but statement II false.</p>
