Which of the following statements are consistent with rutherford's nuclear theory as it was originally stated? check all that apply.
(a) neutral potassium atoms contain more protons than electrons.
(b) neutral potassium atoms contain more neutrons than protons.
(c) the volume of an atom is mostly empty space.
(d) atomic nuclei are small compared to the size of atoms.

(C) The volume of an atom is mostly empty space.

Explanation:

Rutherford's nuclear theory:

  Rutherford's performed an experiment with the help of alpha particle and gold foil film.By doing this experiment he concluded that

1.Mass and charge of an atoms is located in the nucleus.

2.Nucleus are surrounding by electron .Nucleus is a positive charge particle and electron is a negative charge particle.

According to Rutherford's nuclear theory,the volume of an atom is mostly empty space.

So option C is correct.

(C) The volume of an atom is mostly empty space.
