Dear student
Limitations of Thomson's Atomic Model
  • Thomson's atomic model failed to explain how the positive charge holds on the electrons inside the atom. It also failed to explain an atom's stability.
  • The theory did not mention anything about the nucleus of an atom.
  • It was unable to explain the scattering experiment of Rutherford.
