Heya @amina_soneviseth ! Do you have any guesses?

amina_soneviseth · Answer

ummm  i know its not the first one. maybe c?

shreehari499 · Answer

Do you know the alternative name of this model?

amina_soneviseth · Answer

hmm the plum pudding model?

shreehari499 · Answer

Exactly! So it says something related to the plum pudding right? The electrons are spread throughout the atom...So what option fits better (not the best) ?

amina_soneviseth · Answer

b? :)

shreehari499 · Answer

Yup..nut there is one small problem with that option...Thomson did NOT tell anything about NUCLEUS at that time...but still that option makes more sense

hmm so D?

shreehari499 · Answer

The main idea behind Thomson's model is the spreading of electrons inside the atoms...so the better option here become B

ahh okay thank you for your time! :) could you help with 1 more?

shreehari499 · Answer

Yeah sure...but make sure you close this post and repost the new question

Bohr developed a model of the atom where electrons
 	
	are positively charged.

	are mixed with protons and neutrons in the atom.

	orbit around the nucleus.

	travel like waves in the electron cloud.
