Drawbacks of J.J. Thomson’s model of the atom
Some drawbacks of J.J. Thomson’s model of the atom are listed below.
- Thomson’s model failed to explain the results of the alpha particle scattering experiment carried out by Rutherford. The majority of the alpha particle passes through the gold foil and deviated from different angles.
- There were no experimental pieces of evidence provided by him. This was one of the major drawbacks of his model.
- He failed to explain the stability of atoms.
