=> On the basis of Thomson's model of an atom, explain how the atom is neutral as a whole.
⏬EXPLANATION⏬
• According to Thomson's model, an atom consists of a sphere (or ball) of positive charge with negatively charged electrons embedded in it (like the seeds in a watermelon).
• The total negative charge of electrons is equal to the positive charge of the sphere. These equal and opposite charges balance each other due to which an atom becomes electrically neutral as a whole.

Hope it helps✌️

Answer:
Explanation:
On the basis of Thomson’s model of an atom, an atom consists of a positively charged sphere. The electrons are embedded in the sphere. The negative and the positive charges are equal in magnitude. Hence, the atom is electrically neutral.
