Question

the pictures show two different models of the atom. type in the letter of your answer. which model best represents daltons atomic theory? which model best represents the modifications to the thomsons results made necessary?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Dalton's atomic theory

Dalton's atomic theory proposed that atoms are indivisible and solid - like spheres with no sub - atomic particles. Model B represents a solid, featureless sphere which aligns with Dalton's idea of an atom.

Step2: Recall Thomson's model

Thomson discovered the electron and proposed the plum - pudding model where electrons are embedded in a positively charged sphere. Model A with electrons (the green circles) in a positively charged matrix (the orange part) represents Thomson's model.

Answer:

The model that best represents Dalton's atomic theory is B. The model that best represents the modifications due to Thomson's results is A.
