This model given by Thomson failed to explain the scattering of alpha particles, when they strike on metal sheet.
 


Option: 3

There were no experimental evidences to justify the model given by Thomson.

 


Option: 4

All of these.

Thomson atomic model was the first model to describe the internal structure of atom. He theoretically explained that atom is cloud of positive charge with negatively charged electrons embedded in it. But he cannot support his theory with any experimental evidence. H e was unable to explain the stability of atoms, how positive charges can can hold negative charges over them. He also can’t explain the scattering of alpha particles by metal sheet, which was later explained by Rutherford.
