$(i)$ electrons have negative charge
$(ii)$ the mass and positive charge of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus
$(iii)$ neutron exists in the nucleus
$(iv)$ most of the space in the atom is empty
Which of the above statements are correct?

Study the table given below and answer the questions that follow:
Particle Electrons Protons Neutrons
$M$ $2$ $3$ $4$
$N$ $10$ $9$ $10$
$O$ $8$ $8$ $8$
$P$ $8$ $8$ $10$

$(a)$ Write the mass numbers of particles $M, N, O$ and $P$.
$(b)$ Select a cation and an anion from the above table.

An atom of an element has $2$ electrons in the $M$ shell, i.e., the third shell. What will be the atomic number of this element? Name this element. Find the valency of this element. Also, find the number of neutrons in the atom of this element (assume mass number is $24$).

Give reasons:
$(a)$ Mass number of an atom excludes the mass of an electron.
$(b)$ The nucleus of an atom is charged.
$(c)$ The alpha particle scattering experiment was possible by using gold foil only and not by foil of any other metal.

An atom with $3$ protons and $4$ neutrons will have a valency of:
