THOMSON’S MODEL OF AN ATOM

Thomson’s model is also called the PLUM PUDDING MODEL .

a)THE ATOM HAS A SPHERICAL SHAPE.

b)THE POSITIVELY CHARGED PARTICLES,PROTONS WERE ASSUMED TO BE DISTRIBUTED UNIFORMLY IN A SPHERICAL VOLUME .

c)THE NEGATIVELY CHARGED PARTICLES ,ELECTRONS WERE ASSUMED TO BE DISTRIBUTED UNIFORMLY IN THIS SPHERICAL VOLUME.

AS A RESULT OF THIS THE ATOM IS ELECTRICALLY NEUTRAL...


HOPE ITS HELP U MY FRIEND SO MARK ME AS THE BRAINLIST____:-)

Answer 2

Thomson knew atoms must also have a source of positive charge to balance the negative charge of the electrons. He considered three plausible models that would satisfy the known properties of atoms at the time:

Each negatively-charged electron was paired with a positively-charged particle that followed it everywhere within the atom.

Negatively-charged electrons orbited a central region of positive charge having the same magnitude as all the electrons.

The negative electrons occupied a region of space that itself was a uniform positive charge (often considered as a kind of "soup" or "cloud" of positive charge).
