$(b)$ 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.)

The radius of a nucleus is given by $r_0 A^{1 / 3}$, where $r_0=1.3 \times 10^{-15} \,m$ and $A$ is the mass number of the nucleus. The lead nucleus has $A=206$. The electrostatic force between two protons in this nucleus is approximately ................ $N$
