Question

Thomson's atomic model suggested that the atom is:

• A. not divisible
• B. divisible
• C. electrons revolve around nucleus
• D. both A and C

Answer 1

The correct option is B divisible

Dalton's atomic theory suggested that all matter is made of indivisible atoms.

Thomson proposed a model of the atom which is also known as the plum pudding model. It suggested that the atom is divisible. It became clear as he proposed that the electrons are embedded in the positively charged sphere of an atom.

The concept of electrons revolving around the nucleus came only with Rutherford's model.

So. option B is correct.
