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.

  • A
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are false.
  • B
    Statement $I$ is false but statement $II$ is true.
  • C
    Statement $I$ is true but statement $II$ is false.
  • D
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are true.

The Rutherford $\alpha$-particle experiment shows that most of the $\alpha$-particles pass through almost unscattered while some are scattered through large angles. What information does it give about the structure of the atom?

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.
