Question

Explain Thomson Model of atom.

✓

Answer

According to J.J. Thomson (1898), atom is a charged sphere, on which the positive charge is distributed thoroughly and the electrons are embedded in it in way that a stable constant electric arrangement is obtained. This is known as Plum pudding model or watermelon model. In this positive charge is considered as pudding or watermelon and electron is considered as plum or seed.
