Which of the following is incorrect for Thomson's model of the atom?

A

The stability of the atom was due to the balance between the repulsive forces between the electrons and their attraction towards the cnetre of the positive sphere.

B

In Thomson's model, the positive charge of the atom was so diffuse that the positive `alpha` particles were expected to pass through without and deflection or with very little deflection.

C

Thomson's model could be visualized as a watermelon of positive charge with seeds (electrons) embedded into it.

D

Mass of the atom is considered to be unevenly spread over the atom.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Like the positive charge, mass is also spread out.
