NEET Chemistry Thomson's Model Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Thomson's model of the atom describes a spherical shape with positive charge uniformly distributed. | Reason (R): Electrons are embedded within the positive charge to create a stable electrostatic arrangement.
Both A and R are true, and R explains A.
Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context states that Thomson proposed an atom with a spherical shape where positive charge is uniformly distributed and electrons are embedded, explaining the stable electrostatic arrangement.
