Question

on the basis of Thomson's model of an atom, explain how the atom is neutral as a whole,?

Answer 1

because according to his model electrons are embedded in a positively charged sphere .So ,the each electron is surrounded by a proton. Therefore due to their equal numbers atom is nuetral as a whole

Answer 2

hey
___

to explain the arrangment of electrons and protons inside the atom J J THOMSON prepared the model for the structure of the atom known as Thomson model of an atom

for example :
___________

just take a watermelon for the example the seeds embedded in the watermelon are the negative charged particles , thus thomson proposed atoms contain postively charged spheres and electrons are embedded in it
_______________________________

It is also called "Plum pudding model of an atom "

• its similar to christmas pudding electrons are arranged in sphere of positive charge like plum in the spherical christmas pudding

• The postive and negative charges are equal in magnitude so ATOM as a whole is electrically neutral ( means no charges as they will cancel each other )
