MCQ

Which statement about the Rutherford model of the atom is not true?

A
There is a positively charged centre in an atom called the nucleus
B
Nearly all the mass of an atom resides in the nucleus
✓
Size of the nucleus is comparable to the atom
D
Electrons occupy the space surrounding the nucleus

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

Size of the nucleus is comparable to the atom

c
(c)

In Rutherford model, positive charge acquires a very small place at centre of atom in nucleus.

So, option $(c)$ is incorrect.
