$Statement$ $I$: Most of the mass of the atom and all its positive charge are concentrated in a tiny nucleus and the electrons revolve around it,is Rutherford's model.
$Statement$ $II$: An atom is a spherical cloud of positive charges with electrons embedded in it,is a special case of Rutherford's model.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate from the options given below.

  • A
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are false.
  • B
    Statement $I$ is false but statement $II$ is true.
