Chemistry

7 0

Answer:

The correct option is  C) The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.

Explanation:

Atoms are made up of particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom and form the nucleus, while electrons surround the nucleus. Electrons have a negative charge. The charge of the protons is positive and finally, the neutrons have no charge.

If the atom has no charge, this means that the total charge of the atomic nucleus, which is positive due to the presence of the protons, is equal to the negative charge of the electrons, so that it cancels out.

So, <u><em>the correct option is  C) The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.</em></u>

What identifies a flaw in J. J. Thomson’s model of the atom?
katrin [286]

Answer:

The plum-pudding model did not identify a central nucleus as the source of a positive charge.

Explanation:

Sir Joseph John Thomson, most popularly known as J J Thomson. He was a famous scientist who was awarded the Noble prize for Physics for his discovery of the subatomic particle, electron.

He placed his famous model of an atom which is known as plum pudding model. He proposed that the atoms are described as the negative particles that is floating within a soup of the diffuse positive charge.

But the main defect of his proposal was that it did not recognized the presence of a central nucleus as a positive charged source.
