TEST II:
Directions: Read the questions carefully and explain briefly your answer.

1. Describe the atomic model (Plum Pudding Model) made by JJ Thomson.

The plum pudding model (also known as Thomson's plum pudding model) is a historical
scientific model of the atom. The plum pudding model is defined by electrons surrounded by a volume
of positive charge, like negatively-charged “plums” embedded in a positively-charged “pudding” The
positive charge is spread uniformly throughout the volume of sphere called pudding. The negatively
charged particles Electrons called Plums are distributed as point charges in shells

2. Briefly describe the wave nature of particles.

Particle nature and wave nature of electromagnetic waves and electrons is called dual nature
or wave particle dualism. According to this wave particle dualism, a wave can also exhibit particle
behaviour and at the same time, a particle can also exhibit wave nature. A vibration or disturbance
describes the wave.

Good Luck!!!!
