NEET Physics Rutherford's Model MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Choose the correct option from the following options given below:
(1) In the ground state of Rutherford's model electrons are in stable equilibrium. While in Thomson's model electrons always experience a net-force.
(2) An atom has a nearly continuous mass distribution in a Rutherford's model but has a highly non-uniform mass distribution in Thomson's model.
(3) A classical atom based on Rutherford's model is doomed to collapse.
(4) The positively charged part of the atom possesses most of the mass in Rutherford's model but not in Thomson's model.
Correct Answer
Option 4
Detailed Explanation
In Rutherford's model, the nucleus is positively charged and contains most of the atom's mass, unlike Thomson's model where mass is distributed throughout the atom.
