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
Multiple Choice Options
- A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- B Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- C Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- D Both statement I and statement II are false
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
According to Rutherford atomic model, most of mass of atom and all its positive charge is concentrated in tiny nucleus & electron revolve around it.
According to Thomson atomic model, atom is spherical cloud of positive charge with electron embedded in it.
Hence, Statement I is true but statement II false.
