Why were the four charges against Socrates false? ?

I'm having trouble finding answers in the apology can anyone help?Why were the four charges against Socrates false? ?
It's not that they were false, but up for definition...





I thought there were 2 charges- corrupting the youth and not worshipping the gods correctly.





How would you define/prove ';corrupting';? Socrates taught the youth to question everything, including the motivations and goals of the leaders. The leaders were, naturally, uncomfortable with this, especially in a time of war.





And how does one worship the gods correctly? Who keeps an eye on that?





So- were the charges false? Probably! But to prove one or the other is tough. Socrates might have gotten away with it if he had not, at the end of his defense, suggested an alternate penalty- this was normal at the time- he suggested that he be given a pension (money to live on) instead of being killed. This sent some of the jury over the edge, and he was found guilty.Why were the four charges against Socrates false? ?
