Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Statement \(I\) is true but statement \(II\) is false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Rutherford atomic model, most of mass of atom and all its positive charge is concentrated in tiny nucleus electron revolve around it. According to Thomson atomic model, atom is spherical cloud of positive charge with electron embedded in it. Hence, Statement \(I\)…
