Which of the following statement regarding Rutherford

Solution

RUTHERFORD’S MODEL OF AN ATOM Rutherford was interested in knowing how the electrons are arranged within an atom. Rutherford designed an experiment for this. In this experiment, fast-moving alpha (α)-particles were made to fall on a thin gold foil. There is a positively charged center in an atom called the nucleus. Nearly all the mass of an atom resides in the nucleus. The electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular paths. The size of the nucleus is very small as compared to the size of the atom.
