Question
On the basis of Thomson’s model of an atom, explain how the atom is neutral as a whole.
Short Answer
Solution
- According to Thomson’s model of the atom, an atom consists of both negatively and positively charged particles.
- The negatively charged particles are embedded in the positively charged sphere.
- These negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude. Thus, by counterbalancing each other’s effect, they make an atom neutral.
