- c) The electrons revolve around the nucleus in a circular path.
- d) The size of a nucleus is very small as compared to the size of the atom.
- a) There is a neutral centre in an atom called nucleus.
- b) Nearly all the mass of an atom resides in the nucleus.
- c) The electrons revolve around the nucleus in a circular path.
- d) The size of a nucleus is very small as compared to the size of the atom.
