J. J. Thomson, who discovered the electron in 1897, proposed the plum pudding model of the atom in 1904 before the discovery of the atomic nucleus in order to include the electron in the atomic model.
In Thomson's model, the atom is composed of electrons surrounded by a soup of positive charge to balance the electrons' negative charges, like negatively charged "plums" surrounded by positively charged "pudding".
The 1904 Thomson model was disproved by Hans Geiger's and Ernest Marsden's 1909 gold foil experiment.
Q3.Tropospheric and stratospheric pollution are actually the components of :
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
Tropospheric and stratospheric pollution is the pollution associated with tropospheric and stratospheric layers of atmosphere so they are components of atmospheric pollution.
Q10.The number of dots around the Lewis symbols for the elements represent
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution:
Gilbert N. Lewis is widely known for his use of simple symbolic representations of elements that show valence electrons as dots.
The Lewis electron-dot symbols focus on the electrons in the highest principal energy level in the atom, the valence electrons.
After all, these are the electrons that participate in chemical reactions. Lewis electron-dot symbols work well for the representative elements.
