Answer 1

Dear Student,

◆ Answers + completed sentences -

(a) no different from

The size of the atom in Thomson’s model is no different from the atomic size in Rutherford’s model.

(b) Thomson’s model, Rutherford’s model

In the ground state of Thomson’s model, electrons are in stable equilibrium, while in Rutherford’s model electrons always experience a net force.

(c) Rutherford’s model

A classical atom based on Rutherford’s model is doomed to collapse.

(d) Thomson’s model, Rutherford’s model

An atom has a nearly continuous mass distribution in a Thomson’s model but has a highly non-uniform mass distribution in Rutherford’s model.

(e) both the models

The positively charged part of the atom possesses most of the mass in both the models.

Thanks dear...
