Solution
Overall neutrality of atom.
Explanation:
To the J.J Thomson model the positive charge is uniformly distributed and the electrons are embedded into it in such a manner as to give the most stable electrostatic arrangement just as watermelon of positive charge with plums or seeds (electrons) embedded into it. Thus this model is able to explain the overall neutrality of the atom.
