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.
