Thomson vs Rutherford Model of Atom
Thomson model of atom is the model which states that electrons are embedded in a positively charged solid material which is spherical in shape. Rutherford model of atom is the model which explains that there is a nucleus in the center of the atom and electrons are located around the nucleus.
Nucleus
Thomson model of atom does not give any detail about the nucleus. Rutherford model of atom provides details about the nucleus of an atom and its location inside the atom.
Location of Electrons
According to Thomson model of atom, electrons are embedded in a solid material. Rutherford model says electrons are located around the nucleus.
Orbitals
Thomson model of atom does not give details about orbitals. Rutherford model of atom explains about orbitals and that electrons are located in these orbitals.
Mass
Thomson model of atom explains that the mass of an atom is the mass of positively charged solid where electrons are embedded. According to the Rutherford model of atom, the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus of the atom.

Thomas model:
Thomas proposed that atom was like a plum cake. the fleshy part was positive charge and nuts represent negative charge.
Rutherford model:
he proposed that most spaces are empty.
positive charge occupy a small size.
