Question

What did later studies show about the distribution of electrons and positive charge in Thomson's model?

Options

• The actual distribution exactly matches seeds in a watermelon.

• Electrons and positive charge are both absent from atoms.

• The actual distribution consists only of discrete wavelengths.

• The actual distribution is very different from this proposal.

Answer 1

Later studies did not support Thomson's proposed distribution of charge. The actual distribution of electrons and positive charge is very different from it.
