Why are atoms electrically neutral?

In $1911$,the physicist Ernest Rutherford discovered that atoms have a tiny,dense nucleus by shooting positively charged particles at a very thin gold foil. $A$ key physical property which led Rutherford to use gold was that it was

Choose the correct alternative from the clues given at the end of each statement:
$(a)$ The size of the atom in Thomson's model is .......... the atomic size in Rutherford's model. (much greater than/no different from/much less than.)
$(b)$ In the ground state of .......... electrons are in stable equilibrium,while in .......... electrons always experience a net force. (Thomson's model/Rutherford's model.)
$(c)$ $A$ classical atom based on .......... is doomed to collapse. (Thomson's model/Rutherford's model.)
$(d)$ An atom has a nearly continuous mass distribution in a .......... but has a highly non-uniform mass distribution in .......... (Thomson's model/Rutherford's model.)
$(e)$ The positively charged part of the atom possesses most of the mass in .......... (Rutherford's model/both the models.)

In Rutherford's experiment,the number of particles scattered at a $90^{\circ}$ angle is $x$ per second. The number of particles scattered per second at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ is:

Statement $(A)$: As one considers orbits with higher values of $n$ in a hydrogen atom,the electric potential energy of the atom increases.
Statement $(B)$: In Thomson's model,an atom is a spherical cloud of positive charges with electrons embedded in it.
Statement $(C)$: The orbital picture in Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom was consistent with the uncertainty principle.
