Question

The model of the atom has changed as scientists have gathered new evidence. Four models of the atom are shown below, but one important model is missing. An image at left with overlapping red and blue balls in the center with a circular fuzzy green cloud outside them. An image at center left with a purple ball in the center surrounded by overlapping concentric black ovals, each with a small green ball on each of the 6 ovals. An image at center right with a large black cross in a purple circle with a black line around the purple, with 10 small green balls dispersed within the purple circle. An image at right with a purple center outlined in black with two concentric black circles around the center, the inner circle having 2 small green balls on it and the outer circle having 8 small green balls on it. Which atomic model is missing from this set? Bohr’s model Dalton’s model Rutherford’s model Thomson’s model

Answer 1

Answer:

Thomson’s model

Explanation:

Thompson regarded the atom largely as a sphere of positively charged matter in which negative charges were embedded.

This came to be known as the plum pudding model of the atom because it resembles a pudding studded with currants.

This was an early model of the atom and did not survive further experimental scrutiny of the structure of the atom.
