O Electron clouds are regions where electrons are likely to be found.
O The electrons are located within the positive material of the nucleus.

Answer 1

A!

Step-by-step explanation:

The atom is mostly empty space.

Answer 2

The atom is mostly empty space.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ernest Rutherford in the year 1911 developed a model of an atom. In his model the atom was shown that the atom is mostly empty spaces composed of negative electrons which orbits round a positive nucleus just like planets revolving round the sun.

Rutherford came up with this model by performing experiments in 1909 which involves the scattering of alpha particles on a thin gold foil. From this experiments he came up with his model.
