define Thomas atomic model ?
thank you
Answers
In 1904, Thomson proposed atomic model where electrons are embedded within spherically distributed, positive charge (so-called "plum pudding" model). Both the positive charge and the mass of the atom would be more or less uniformly distributed over its size.
Answer:
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".
