  2. Plum pudding model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plum_pudding_model

    The plum pudding model was the first scientific model of the atom to describe an internal structure. It was first proposed by J. J. Thomson in 1904 following his discovery of the electron in 1897, and was rendered obsolete by Ernest Rutherford 's discovery of the atomic nucleus in 1911.

  3. J. J. Thomson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._J._Thomson

    To explain the overall neutral charge of the atom, he proposed that the corpuscles were distributed in a uniform sea of positive charge. In this "plum pudding model", the electrons were seen as embedded in the positive charge like raisins in a plum pudding (although in Thomson's model they were not stationary, but orbiting rapidly). [32] [33]

  4. Thomson problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson_problem

    The Thomson problem is a natural consequence of J. J. Thomson's plum pudding model in the absence of its uniform positive background charge. [ 12 ] "No fact discovered about the atom can be trivial, nor fail to accelerate the progress of physical science, for the greater part of natural philosophy is the outcome of the structure and mechanism ...

    Thomson further explained that ions are atoms that have a surplus or shortage of electrons. [53] Thomson's model is popularly known as the plum pudding model, based on the idea that the electrons are distributed throughout the sphere of positive charge with the same density as raisins in a plum pudding. Neither Thomson nor his colleagues ever ...

  6. Vortex theory of the atom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_theory_of_the_atom

    [3] [4] In it, Thomson developed a mathematical treatment of the motions of William Thomson and Peter Tait's atoms. [5] When Thomson later discovered the electron (for which he received a Nobel Prize), he abandoned his "nebular atom" hypothesis based on the vortex atomic theory, in favour of his plum pudding model.

  7. Nuclear physics - Wikipedia

    The discovery of the electron by J. J. Thomson [3] a year later was an indication that the atom had internal structure. At the beginning of the 20th century the accepted model of the atom was J. J. Thomson's "plum pudding" model in which the atom was a positively charged ball with smaller negatively charged electrons embedded inside it.

    J. J. Thomson: Articulated the plum pudding model of the atom that was later experimentally disproved by Rutherford (1907). 1904: Richard Abegg: Noted the pattern that the numerical difference between the maximum positive valence, such as +6 for H 2 SO 4, and the maximum negative valence, such as −2 for H 2 S, of an element tends to be eight ...

  9. Hantaro Nagaoka - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hantaro_Nagaoka

    In 1904, Thomson suggested that the atom was a sphere of uniform positive electrification, with electrons scattered through it like plums in a pudding, giving rise to the term plum pudding model. Nagaoka rejected Thomson's model on the grounds that opposite charges are impenetrable. In 1904, Nagaoka proposed an alternative planetary model of ...
