Question

note: to answer some of the questions, it may help to reference a periodic table. which statement correctly identifies the flaw in j.j. thomsons model of the atom? the plum - pudding model included a central, positively charged nucleus but lacked information about the location of electrons. the plum - pudding model only provided a 90 percent probability of each electrons location. the plum - pudding model showed the positive charges in atoms as dense and centrally located instead of as diffused across the atom. the plum - pudding model did not identify a central nucleus as the source of a positive charge.

Explanation:

J.J. Thomson's plum - pudding model depicted the atom as a uniform positive charge with electrons embedded in it, not having a central, positively - charged nucleus. Later models like Rutherford's nuclear model showed the existence of a small, dense, positively - charged nucleus.

Answer:

The plum - pudding model did not identify a central nucleus as the source of a positive charge.
