Given information
The given statement is the volume of an atom is mostly empty space.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
- Rutherford found that most of the volume of an atom is empty.
- He also found that the nucleus, a tiny core, has the most of the mass and all of the positive charge.
- Most of an atom's volume is empty space, across which negatively charged particles known as electrons are dispersed
Hence, this statement is correct.
