Which of the following models states that "In an atom, the positive charge is uniformly distributed and electorns are embedded into it't?
Options
- ABohr's atomic model
- BThomson's atomic model
- CRutherford's atomic model
- DSommerfeld's atomic model
Correct answer
B. Thomson's atomic model
Step-by-step solution
J.J. Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom, which had the positive charge is uniformly distributed and electrons are embedded into it. Hence, the correct option is (2).
