Question

Explain Thomson model of atom​

Answer 1

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\mathfrak{Answer}}}}$

Structure of an atom

➡️Dalton atomic theory suggested that atoms are indivisible(could not be broken into smaller particles)

➡️But the discovery of subatomic particles inside an atom disproved this postulate of Dalton atomic theory.

➡️After the discovery of these subatomic particles,it became necessary to find out how these particles are arranged inside the atoms.

According to Thomson Model of an atom:

➡️An atom consist of a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electrons embedded in it.

➡️The positive and negative charges in an atom are equal in magnitude,due to which an atom is electrically neutral.IT has no overall positive and negative charge
