Question

Briefly discuss Thomson’s plum pudding model.

Answer 1

The plum pudding model is one of several historical scientific models of the atom. First proposed by J. J. Thomson in 1904 soon after the discovery of the electron, but before the discovery of the atomic nucleus, the model tried to explain two properties of atoms then known: that electrons are negatively-charged particles and that atoms have no net electric charge. The plum pudding model has electrons surrounded by a volume of positive charge, like negatively-charged "plums" embedded in a positively-charged "pudding".

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

J. J. Thomson proposed the atom's plum pudding model, which had the negatively charged electrons and showed an atom with a positive charged medium or room inside the medium with negatively charged electrons.

The model was called a' plum pudding' model soon after its proposition because the beneficial medium was like a pudding inside with electrons or plums, Moreover, the symmetrical distribution of the charge allowed all the alpha α particles to pass through the medium with no deflection.
