Wru An early model of the atom, as shown below, was proposed
by J. J. Thomson in 1 904. He described the structure of theatom as a positively charged sphere with small, negativelycharged electrons embedded inside. These electrons are freeto circulate in rings within the sphere.
positivelycharged sphere

I Both conectly describe the atom as consisting of electrons
and protons.
ll Both correctly describe the electrons as freely crrculatingrnside the atom.

Befer to the following t0 answer questions 21 and28.
lVost elements consist of two or more isotopes. 0f the many knownisotopes of elements, only about 275 of these are stable. The restare unstable and disintegrate spontaneously to form other elements.
It is found that the stability of an atom depends on its neutron-to-proton ratio. The following graph shows the plots of number ofneutrons t0 protons for the known stable isotopes of elements.
Which of the following is not true?
A Atoms of the same element may have different masses.
B Atoms of different elements may have the same number
of neutrons.
C Atoms of different elements may lose or gain the samenumber of electrons.
D Atoms of elements from the same group of the Periodic
Table have the same number of protons. ( )
