Answer:

A, C and D are the statements that describes Rutherford's model

Step-by-step explanation:

Rutherford's model shows that an atom is mostly empty space, with electrons (negative particles) orbiting a fixed predictable paths. And having a positive nucleus.

Therefore, A, C and D being correct statements.

B is not true because it was later discovered that there were smaller particles.

E is not true because electrons orbit around the positive nucleus.

And F is not true because the electrons orbit a fixed predictable path on Rutherford's model.
