Solution

Rutherford's model of an atom:

  1. According to this model, the positive charge and the most of the mass of an atom is actually concentrated in an extremely small volume.
  2. He also came to a conclusion that after the conducting of an experiment by the bombardment of the alpha particles on a thin shit of the gold foil, most of the space left empty in an atom.
  3. Also the positively charged protons are not distributed evenly.
  4. Volume occupied by the positively charged particles in an atom is basically very small as compared to the total volume of a whole atom.

Hence, on the basis of Rutherford's model of an atom, the positively charged particle called protons are present in the nucleus of an atom.
