Question

jj thomson named his model of the atom, the \plum pudding\ model. he used a cathode ray to develop his contributions to the atomic theory. jj thomsons cathode ray tube. image free to use/wikicommons how is thomsons model of the atom most accurately described? a nucleus of protons and neutrons with electrons in orbit around them. negatively charged spheres with protons and neutrons located along the outer edges. positively charge uniform spheres with electrons stuck in them. a ball of energy with subatomic particles that are organized haphazardly around the inside.

Explanation:

JJ Thomson's plum - pudding model proposed that atoms are made of a positively charged "pudding" (uniformly charged sphere) with negatively charged electrons (like plums) embedded within it.

• Option 1 describes the Rutherford - Bohr model (nucleus with electrons in orbit).
• Option 2 is not in line with Thomson's model as protons and neutrons' arrangement as described is incorrect for his model.
• Option 4 is not a description of Thomson's model.

Answer:

C. Positively charge uniform spheres with electrons stuck in them.
