Question

h of the following is true for Thomson's model of the atom?
(a) radius of an electron can be calculated using Thomson's model
(b) Inanundisturbed atom, the electrons will be at their equilibrium positions, where the
attraction
between the cloud of positive charge and the electrons balances their mutual repulsion
(c)
When the electrons are disturbed by collision, they will vibrate around their equilibrium
positions
and emit electromagnetic radiation whose frequency is of the order of magnitude of the
frequency of electromagnetic radiation of a vibrating electron
(d)Both (b)and (c)

Answer 1

Explanation:

The radius of an electron cannot be calculated using Thomson Model (also known as plum pudding model). In this model, the atom is composed of electrons surrounded by a soup of positive charge to balance the electrons' negative charges, like negatively charged "raisins" surrounded by positively charged "pudding".
