Which of the following statements about Rutherford's model of atom are correct?
(i) Considered the nucleus as positively charged.
(ii) Established that the a-particles are four times as heavy as a hydrogen atom.
(iii) Can be compared to solar system.
(iv) Was in agreement with Thomson's model.

Solution

The answer is (a).
According to Rutherford model, a central positively charged nucleus is present in the atom and electrons revolve around it. This model is similar to solar system so also called planetary model.
