  2. Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup." Rutherford's gold foil experiment showed that the atom is mostly empty space with a tiny, dense, positively-charged nucleus. Based on these results, Rutherford proposed the nuclear model of the atom.

  3. The plum pudding model is an obsolete scientific model of the atom. It was first proposed by J. J. Thomson in 1904 following his discovery of the electron in 1897 and subsequently rendered obsolete by Ernest Rutherford's discovery of the atomic nucleus in 1911. The model tried to account for two properties of atoms then known: that there are ...

  4. Jun 14, 2021 · The electron was discovered by J.J. Thomson in 1897. The existence of protons was also known, as was the fact that atoms were neutral in charge. Since the intact atom had no net charge and the electron and proton had opposite charges, the next step after the discovery of subatomic particles was to figure out how these particles were arranged in ...

  5. Following his discovery of the electron in 1897, British Physicist J.J. Thomson proposed a model of the atom in 1904 after doing a series of cathode tube experiments. According to his hypothesis, an atom consists of positive and negative charges present in equal amounts so that it is electrically neutral.

  6. m. J.J Thomson contributed massively to the model of the atom and the modern day theory. His work involved the use of cathode ray tubes and identifying a particle lighter than the atom itself, the electron. Refresher: The atomic model originated in the 5th century BC when Greek philosophers hypothesized that all matter was composed of ...

  7. Nov 5, 2020 · J. J. Thomson, who discovered the electron in 1897, proposed the plum pudding model of the atom in 1904 before the discovery of the atomic nucleus in order to include the electron in the atomic model. In Thomson’s model, the atom is composed of electrons (which Thomson still called “corpuscles,” though G. J. Stoney had proposed that atoms ...
