Option 3 : Both 1 and 2
CONCEPT:
Rutherford’s Model of the Atom:
- He bombarded the beam of alpha particles on a very thin gold foil.
- While bombarding he observes the number of scattering of particles –
- Most of the particles passed either un-deviated or with very small deviation.
- Some deviated by large angles
- 1 out of 8000 was deflected by more than 90°
- The conclusion to this deflection:
- Most of the space of an atom is empty.
- At the center of an atom having a tiny positively charged particle called a nucleus.
- The center nucleus has all the mass of an atom.
- The amount of positive charge at the nucleus is equal to the total amount of negative charges on all the electrons of the atom.
- All the electrons revolve around the nucleus and coulomb force provide centripetal force

EXPLANATION:
- After the α -particles scattering experiment, the following conclusions were made by Rutherford as regard as atomic structure:
- Most of the mass (at least 99.95%) and all of the charge of an atom concentrated in a very small region is called the atomic nucleus. Therefore statement 1 is correct.
- In an atom, there is maximum empty space and the electrons revolve around the nucleus in the same way as the planets revolve around the sun. Therefore statement 2 is correct.
