Answer:
Thomson's atomic model was successful in explaining the overall neutrality of the atom. However, its propositions were not consistent with the results of later experiments. In 1906, J. J. Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for his theories and experiments on electricity conduction by gases.
Summary. J.J. Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom, which had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup."
Answer:
a) x = 0.200 m
b)E = 3.84*10^{-4} N/C
Explanation:


DISTANCE BETWEEN BOTH POINT CHARGE = 0.5 m
by relation for electric field we have following relation

according to question E = 0
FROM FIGURE
x is the distance from left point charge where electric field is zero

solving for x we get

x = 0.200 m
b)electric field at half way mean x =0.25

E = 3.84*10^{-4} N/C
