Answer to Problem 43A

In the Thomson model, the electrons are struck into the positive charge.

Explanation of Solution

The electrons were discovered by Thomson. Thomson thought that the electrons were distributed uniformly throughout an atom that was uniformly packed with positively charged substances.

Thomson called his theory, in which the electrons were struck into a mass of positive charge, a plum-pudding theory. This configuration resembles a raisin in the dough.
