JEE MAIN - Physics (2024 - 29th January Evening Shift - No. 18)

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

Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Both statement I and statement II are false

Explanation

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.
