Question

On the basis of Thompson's model of an atom, explain how the atom is
neutral as a whole.​

Answer 1

Answer:

According to Thomson€™s model of the atom, an atom consists of both negatively and positively charged particles.

The negatively charged particles are embedded in the positively charged sphere.

Thus, by counterbalancing each other€™s effect, they make an atom neutral.

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

Explanation:

According to Thomson model, an atom consists of a positively charged sphere and the negatively charged electron are embedded in it.

2) The negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude. So, the atom as a whole is electrically neutral.
