The charged particles in the beams that Thomson studied came from atoms. As these particles moved away from their original atoms
, they formed a visible beam. The current model of the atom includes protons, neutrons, and electrons. What is the best use of an atomic model to explain the charge of the particles in Thomson's beams? An atom's negative particles are surrounded by positive matter, so the positive particles are easier to remove. An atom's positive particles are surrounded by negative matter, so the negative particles are easier to remove. An atom's smaller negative particles are at a distance from the central positive particles, so the negative particles are easier to remove. An atom's larger positive particles are at a distance from the central negative particles, so the positive particles are easier to remove.
Answer:An atom's positive particles are surrounded by negative matter, so the negative particles are easier to remove.
Explanation:
From our knowledge of the atom, we know that the nucleus lies at the center of the atom. The nucleus is positively charged because it contains the positive particles in the atom
The negative matter (electrons) surround the positive matter (protons) hence it is easier to remove the negative particles compared to the positive particles.
ionization energy decreases from top to bottom in groups, and increases from left to right across a period. So technically, the noble games have the largest ionization energy.
