In a Rutherford scattering experiment,when a projectile of charge $Z_1$ and mass $M_1$ approaches a target nucleus of charge $Z_2$ and mass $M_2$,the distance of closest approach is $r_0$. The energy of the projectile is:

Choose the correct alternative from the clues given at the end of each statement:
$(a)$ The size of the atom in Thomson's model is .......... the atomic size in Rutherford's model. (much greater than/no different from/much less than.)
$(b)$ In the ground state of .......... electrons are in stable equilibrium,while in .......... electrons always experience a net force. (Thomson's model/Rutherford's model.)
$(c)$ $A$ classical atom based on .......... is doomed to collapse. (Thomson's model/Rutherford's model.)
$(d)$ An atom has a nearly continuous mass distribution in a .......... but has a highly non-uniform mass distribution in .......... (Thomson's model/Rutherford's model.)
$(e)$ The positively charged part of the atom possesses most of the mass in .......... (Rutherford's model/both the models.)
