Answer 1

Solution:

According to J.J. Thomson’s atomic model, an atom consists of a positively charged sphere with electrons embedded in it.

However, it was later experimented by other scientist that the positively charged particles reside at the centre of the atom called the nucleus, and the electrons revolve around the nucleus.
