explaination:
In Thomson's model, the atom is composed of electrons surrounded by a soup of positive charge to balance the electrons' negative charges, like negatively charged “plums” surrounded by positively charged “pudding”. The 1904 Thomson model was disproved by Hans Geiger's and Ernest Marsden's 1909 gold foil experiment.
ITS DRAWBACKS ARE:
The following are the drawbacks of Thomson's atomic model: The model of atom failed to explain how a positive charge holds the negatively charged electrons in an atom. ... This theory also failed to account for the position of the nucleus in an atom. Thomson's model failed to explain the scattering of alpha particles.
