Important Questions on Atomic Models
Rutherford’s Nuclear Model of Atom model is that the mass of the atom is assumed to be uniformly distributed over the atom.

The nucleus is surrounded by electrons that move around the nucleus with a very high speed in circular paths called _____.

The concept of atom based on experimental observation first came from:
