Which of the following statements is not true about Thomson's model of atom?
- A This model can be visualised as a pudding or watermelon of positive charge with plum or seeds as electrons embedded into it.
- B The mass of the atom is assumed to be uniformly distributed over the atom.
- C An atom possesses a spherical shape in which the positive charge in uniformly distributed.
- D This model could not explain the overall neutrality of the atom.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) This model could not explain the overall neutrality of the atom.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
This model could not explain the overall neutrality of the atom, because he proposed that the positive charge is spread over a sphere in which the electrons are embedded to make the atom as a whole neutral, but it was not consistant with the results. Hence, discarded.
