NEET Chemistry Thomson's Model MCQ Question
Consider a spherical model of an atom where positive charge is uniformly distributed, and electrons are embedded within it. Which of the following best describes the distribution and embedding of electrons in this model?
Electrons are embedded randomly without any specific arrangement.
Electrons are arranged on the surface, similar to seeds on a watermelon.
Electrons are embedded in a manner to achieve the most stable electrostatic arrangement.
Electrons are grouped together at the center surrounded by positive charge.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Thomson's model proposes that electrons are embedded in a spherical atom to give the most stable electrostatic arrangement, as described in the NCERT context.
