Correct Option: C

Rutherford's account of Nuclear theory does not take into accountĀ the fact that atoms contain a massive region and cause deflection of from projectiles.Ā He concluded that all of the positive charge and the majority of the mass of theĀ atomĀ must be concentrated in a very small space in theĀ atom'sĀ interior, which he called the nucleus.
