Questions and Answers

According to J.J. Thomson's model of the atom, the positive charge of the atom is distributed

  • only on the surface of the atom
  • only in the nucleus of the atom
  • in a specific pattern inside the atom
  • uniformly throughout the volume of the atom (correct)

According to J.J. Thomson's model, the negatively charged electrons are embedded in the atom like

  • birds in a nest
  • sand in an hourglass
  • pebbles in a pond
  • seeds in a watermelon (correct)

What did J.J. Thomson's experiments on electric discharge through gases reveal about atoms?

  • Atoms contain positively charged constituents
  • Atoms have a specific structure inside
  • Atoms are electrically neutral
  • Atoms contain negatively charged constituents (correct)
