Select all of the statements that are true.

Electrons are located in shells or orbits around the atom.
Electrons orbit slowly around the atom.
Electrons travel in one flat path around the nucleus of an atom.
Electrons are traveling so fast that it is impossible to know their exact locations.

Answer 1

1 is true,
2 is definitely false
3 is also completely false because
4 is true.

So 1&4

Answer 2

According to the atomic model given by Rutherford, the atom is a dense, and tiny positively charged core known as the nucleus, which is enveloped by lighter and negatively charged electrons. An electron refers to a stable subatomic particle comprising a negative charge, which is found in all the atoms.

The following are the correct statements:

1. The electrons are situated in orbits or shells around the atom.

2. The electrons are traveling so fast, that it becomes almost impossible to locate their precise locations.
