Thomsons Model of the Atom
Thomsons Model of the Atom
Structure of an Atom: According to Dalton’s atomic theory, atom was indivisible and indestructible. Now, the discovery of two fundamental particles (electrons and protons) inside the atom, led to the failure of this aspect of in Dalton’s theory. To know the arrangement of electrons and protons within an atom, many scientist proposed various atomic models.
Thomson’s Model of an Atom: J.J. Thomson was the first scientist to propose a model for the structure of an atom. Thomson’s model of an atom was similar to Christmas pudding. The electrons in a sphere of positive charge were like currants (dry fruits) in a spherical Christmas pudding. It can also be compared to a watermelon, in which, the positive charge in an atom is spread all over like the red edible part, while the electrons studded in the positively charged sphere, like the seeds in the watermelon. Following are the postulates of this model: Limitations of Thomson’s Model of an Atom: |  |
Electrons are embedded in the sphere of _____________charge. | |||

J.J. Thomson was the ______________ scientist to propose a model for the structure of an atom. | |||
| Right Option : B | |||

Which of the following are the limitations of Thomson model : (a) It could not explain the stability of the atom ,i.e. how positive and negative charges could remain, so close together. (b) It could not explain the distribution of electrons in the extra nuclear portion of the atom. | |||

8thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.

10thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

7thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
