Question

what are the limitations of J. J thomson's model of the atom..?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

According to J.J. Thomson’s model of an atom, an atom consists of a positively charged sphere with electrons embedded in it. In 1897, he discovered negatively charged particles by cathode ray experiment. Some drawbacks of this model have been listed below.

Thomson’s model failed to explain the results of alpha particle scattering experiment carried out by Rutherford. That is the majority of the alpha particles passes through the gold foil and some got deviated in different angles.

There were no experimental pieces of evidence provided by him. This was one of the major drawbacks of his model.

He failed to explain the stability of atoms.

Answer 2

Limitations of J. J thomson's model of the atom are

• It cannot explain the apparent stability of electrons.
• It doesn’t account for several atomic phenomena such as molecule formation, mutual electron transfer, existence and stability of ions, existence and stability of dipoles etc.
• It doesn’t explain the existence and cause of chemical reactions.
