Question

"The atom as a whole is electrically neutral", is a statement proposed by which atomic model?
  1. Thomson's atomic model
  2. Goldstein's atomic model
  3. Chadwick's atomic model
  4. None of the above

A
Goldstein's atomic model
B
Chadwick's atomic model
C
None of the above
D
Thomson's atomic model
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Thomson proposed that :
  • An atom consists of a positively charged sphere and the electrons are embedded in it. Thus, the atom is visualized as a pudding or cake of positive charges with raisins (electrons) embedded into it. Hence it is the raisin pudding model or watermelon model.
  • The negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude. So that atoms as a whole are electrically neutral.
