Read the following statement and answer as per instructions in option
Statement 1: Thomson postulated that an atom is electrically neutral.
Statement 2: The mass of an atom is considered to be uniformly distributed over the atom.
Statement1 is true; Statement 2 is true; and Statement2 is the correct explanation of Statement1.
Statement1 is true; Statement 2 is true; and Statement2 is not the correct explanation of Statement1.
Statement1 is true; Statement 2 is not true.
Statement1 is not true; Statement 2 is true.
Understand this question, as per the Thomson atomic model only, because both statements are talking about the Thomson atomic model.
Both statements are true. Statement 1 is the postulate of this model, and Statement2 is an assumption of Thomson. Thomson said an atom is electrically neutral, considering that the magnitude of both charges is the same. He also assumed that the mass was uniformly distributed over the atomic surface.
