Question

TOPIC: STRUCTURE OF AN ATOM
Q 1. EXPLAIN THE OF MODEL OF AN ATOM
PROPOSED BY J.J. THOMSON
ALSO WRITE ITS LIMITATIONS​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Limitations of Thomson's Atomic Model

Thomson's atomic model failed to explain how the positive charge holds on the electrons inside the atom. It also failed to explain an atom's stability. The theory did not mention anything about the nucleus of an atom.

Answer 2

Answer:

Thomson proposed atomic model where electrons are embedded within spherically distributed, positive charge (so-called "plum pudding" model). Both the positive charge and the mass of the atom would be more or less uniformly distributed over its size.

Explanation:

Thomson's atomic model failed to explain how the positive charge holds on the electrons inside the atom. It also failed to explain an atom's stability. The theory did not mention anything about the nucleus of an atom. It was unable to explain the scattering experiment of Rutherford.
