How does rutherford’s model of the atom compare with thomson’s model? a.) they both describe atoms as small, indivisible spheres. b.) they both describe electrons as moving around the nucleus. c.) they both describe electrons as being surrounded by the positive matter. d.) they both describe atoms as being made up of positive and negative matter.

In Thomson's plum pudding atomic model, the atom is composed of electrons,

In the Rutherford model, the atom is made up of a central charge.

Thomson: thought the protons and electrons were both distributed as a mixture with in a sphere

Rutherford: thought only protons formed a spherical core or nucleus and the electrons were outside the nucleus, in the orbit around it

d

Explanation:

i think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option c. when the kinetic energy of particles in a liquid state decreases

explanation:

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
