Q4. How does Thomson's atomic model explain the stability of atoms?
(A) The negatively charged electrons balance out the positively charged nucleus
(B) The positively charged electrons balance out the negatively charged nucleus
(C) The electrons are in constant motion, preventing them from becoming too close to the
nucleus

Q5. What is the main criticism of Thomson's atomic model?

(A) It cannot explain the stability of atoms
(B) It cannot explain the distribution of electrons in atoms
(C) It cannot explain the chemical properties of atoms
(D) It cannot explain the spectral lines of atoms
