Question

J.J. Thomson's atomic model could not justify the shielding of electrons from positive charges.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

J.J Thomson's postulated the following:

1) An atom has an overall neutral charge.

2) Part of an atom consists of small negatively charged particles called electrons.

3) The rest of the atoms consist of positive charge to balance the negative charge of electrons.

Thus clearly he did not state anything about shielding electrons from the positive charge. Thus given statement is true.
