NEET Chemistry Rutherford's Model MCQ Question
What did Rutherford propose as the reason for the concentration of positive charge and mass in an atom?
It is concentrated in a very small region called the nucleus.
It is uniformly spread throughout the atom.
It exists only in the electron shells.
It is distributed equally between protons and neutrons.
