11. Ernest Rutherford’s experiment supported that the atom contains a positively-charged nucleus. Why then does our data show that the electrons are not all crashing into the nucleus? Choose the best answer.
A. Electrons are also positively charged and like charges repel one another.
B. Electrons must all have the same spin and this cannot be accomplished if they are all located in the nucleus.
C. Electrons only exist in their excited states but if a ground state were possible, then they would be located in the nucleus.
