The structure of the atomOn the basis of Rutherford's experimental observations, which of the following statements predicts the structure of the atom?1. In an atom, negatively charged electrons are small particles held within a positively charged sphere. 2. In an atom, negatively charged electrons are dispersed in the space surrounding the positively charged nucleus of an atom. 3. In an atom, all of the positive and negative charges are randomly distributed. 4. In an atom, most of the mass and the positive charge are located in a small core within the atom called the nucleus. 2. In an atom, negatively charged electrons are dispersed in the space surrounding the positively charged nucleus of an atom. 4. In an atom, most of the mass and the positive charge are located in a small core within the atom called the nucleus.

    In rutherford experiment he bombarded highly energetic alpha particles towards the gold foil

    He observed that most of the alpha particles pass through the foil without any deviation while very few of the alpha particles are there which reflect back to its own path

    while very less in number was there which were deflected from there path

    so he concluded that the positive charge of atom is concentrated inside the nucleus and it is small space in tom and electrons are surrounded them

    so correct answer would be

    4. In an atom, most of the mass and the positive charge are located in a small core within the atom called the nucleus.
