Answer:
Thomson made the plum pudding model/watermelon model in which electrons were embedded in a positive sphere. According to him electrons were stationary.
Whereas Rutherford did the Alpha scattering experiment of the Cathode Ray tube experiment according to which cathode rays or the negatively charged electrons started moving towards the anode contradicting the thomson stationary electrons.
