Answer 2

Answer:

Achievements of Thomson's Atomic Model

JJ Thomson's Model had a great achievement- it explained the stability and neutrality of the atom. As he said that the negative and positive charge are equal and balance each other.

Limitations of Thomson’s Atomic Model

Thomson’s atomic model failed to explain how the positive charge holds on the electrons inside the atom. It also failed to explain an atom’s stability.

The theory did not mention anything about the nucleus of an atom.

It was unable to explain the scattering experiment of Rutherford.
