Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The distribution of overall charge in the plum pudding model needs to be explained.

Concept introduction: Plum pudding model was proposed by J.J Thomson. According to this model, an atom has a spherical shape in which positive and negative charges are present.

Answer to Problem 40A

In the plum pudding model, the charges are distributed evenly through a sphere.

Explanation of Solution

The plum pudding model by Thomson is comprised of a spherically shaped atom which is positively charged and electrons with negative charge to balance the charge.

This can be represented as follows:

Conclusion

Hence, according to the plum pudding model, the charges were evenly distributed in a sphere of an atom.
