Given information
Given statement :
Since electrons are smaller than protons, and since a hydrogen atom contains only one proton and one electron, it must follow that the volume of a hydrogen atom is mostly due to the proton.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
According to Rutherford's nuclear theory:
The positively charged particles (protons) are concentrated in the small and central part of the atom which is known as the Nucleus.
The small negatively charged particles (electrons) are present outside the nucleus.
Most of the volume of the atom is empty.
