Which of the following statements does not show Rutherford's account of Nuclear Theory? An atom contains a region

A

which contains protons and neutrons

B

which is positively charged

C

which is massive and can cause deflection of a few projectiles

D

which is very large and in which close to 98% of projectiles pass undeflected

correct option: c

Rutherford's account of Nuclear theory does not take into account the fact that atoms contain a massive region and cause deflection of from projectiles. He concluded that all of the positive charge and the majority of the mass of the atom must be concentrated in a very small space in the atom's interior, which he called the nucleus. The nucleus is the tiny, dense, central core of the atom and is composed of protons and neutrons
