As per the NCERT Textbooks, Thomson proposed a Atomic Structure of Atom that tells" An atom consists of a positively charged sphere in which the electrons are embedded like the seeds are embedded in watermelon. This model is often compared to a pudding or watermelon with electrons distributed like raisins or plums, also known as “plum pudding model.”

The presesnt day theory for structure of Atom is developed through many discoveries and hypothesises. In class 12 Physics, Atom chapter includes development of the sturucture of atom, and theories in the path of development of present theory. Students can check the ordered points below;

1. Thomson's Model of the Atom
2. Rutherford's Nuclear Model
3. Bohr's Model of the Hydrogen Atom
4. De Broglie's Hypothesis
5. Energy Emission Spectrum

These throries have been used to introduced the current theory of structure of atom.

Students who are preparing for the class 12 board exams needs additional practice questions after completing the NCERT Exercises. We have provided practice questions with accurate and atep-by-step solutions for students to better prepare for the board exams. Students can check the below provided link to access our additional practice questions along with previous year questions.

Chapter 12 Atoms NCERT Solutions 

The photoelectric effect when light is projected in a metal surface, it's surface ejects electron (which are in outermost shell or free electron). This happens because the light provides additional energy to the electron to detach itself from metal surface. Well to do this light must have a certain amount of energy which in other words can be said the right frequency of light is required for photoelectric effect. 

This frequency must be above a certain minimum value (called threshold frequency) fixed for every metal, regardless of its intensity. Photoelectric effect cannot be explained by the wave theory of light.
