Statement $(A)$: As one considers orbits with higher values of $n$ in a hydrogen atom,the electric potential energy of the atom increases.
Statement $(B)$: In Thomson's model,an atom is a spherical cloud of positive charges with electrons embedded in it.
Statement $(C)$: The orbital picture in Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom was consistent with the uncertainty principle.
