THOMSON'S MODEL OF AN ATOM

THOMSON'S MODEL OF AN ATOM Hello, everyone . Welcome in my new blog. In this blog I have explained the model of atom given by Thomson. Thomson proposed the model of an atom to be similar to that of a Christmas pudding. The electrons, in a sphere of positive charge, were like currants (dry fruits) in a spherical Christmas pudding. Thomson proposed that: (i) An atom consists of a positively charged sphere and the electrons are embedded in it. (ii) The negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude. So, the atom as a whole is electrically neutral. Although Thomson’s model explained that atoms are electrically neutral, the results of experiments carried out by other scientists could not be explained by this model, as we will see below. , THANKS FOR COMING
