Question

According to Thomson’s atomic model, electrons revolve around the nucleus.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Thomson Atomic model (Plum pudding model):

1. Given by J.J. Thomson.
2. Postulates:

1. An atom is like a sphere of positive charge in which electrons are embedded like the dry fruits are embedded in a plum pudding or seeds are embedded in a watermelon.
2. The positive and negative charges are equal in number and thus, an atom is electrically neutral in nature.

Therefore, as the given statement says that according to Thomson’s atomic model, electrons revolve around the nucleus, this statement is FALSE.
