G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

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 is true but statement II false.
