NEET Chemistry Thomson's Model MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about Thomson's Model of the atom is correct?
The atom is a spherical structure with uniformly distributed positive charge and electrons embedded within it.
The model suggests that electrons move in fixed orbits around the nucleus.
Thomson's Model accurately explains the stability of atoms based on electron arrangement.
Electrons are the only charged particles present in the atom according to this model.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Thomson's Model describes the atom as having a spherical shape with a uniform positive charge and electrons embedded to achieve stability. This model does not involve fixed orbits or account for the stability of atoms, making option A the only correct statement.
