NEET Physics (general) Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Thomson’s Model (i) Positively charged nucleus (b) Rutherford’s Model (ii) Spherical cloud of positive charge (c) Stability of Atoms (iii) Accelerated electrons spiraling (d) Energy Levels (iv) Allowed energy states
Choose the correct matching:
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
a-iv, b-i, c-ii, d-iii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In Thomson’s model, an atom is described as a spherical cloud of positive charge with electrons embedded in it (a-ii), while Rutherford’s model concentrates the positive charge in a tiny nucleus (b-i). The stability of atoms is contradicted by the prediction of accelerated electrons spiraling into the nucleus (c-iii), and energy levels in an atom represent allowed energy states (d-iv).
