Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Whole atom is neutral because number of electrons and protons are equal...So they neglect each others charge..

Answer 2

Answer:

As per Thompson’s model of an atom,

(i) An atom contains a positively charged sphere in which the negatively charged electrons are implanted.

(ii) Electrons and protons are equal in magnitude, hence an atom on the whole is electrically neutral.
