5 days ago · In this paper we restrict our attention to two of the leading contributors, Joseph J. Thomson (1856–1940) and Ernest Rutherford (1871–1937). We begin with Thomson who sought to describe a structure of the atom that accommodates both its mechanical and electromagnetic properties, but he had little experimental data to base it on.

Lond Edinb Dublin Philos Mag J Sci 7 (39):237–265.
5 days ago · J.J Thomson’s Model of Atom. Thomson proposed a theory according to which he defined atoms to be similar to that of a Christmas pudding. He stated that atoms consist of a positively charged sphere and electrons are embedded into it.
- Dalton’s Model of the Atom, J.J Thomson’s Model of Atom, Rutherford’s Atomic Model, and Neil Bohr’s Atomic Theory.
- Neil Bohr’s Atomic Model is the most accurate atomic model.
- Dalton’s Model of the Atom was the first atomic model.
- The current model of the atom is called the quantum model of the atom.
- John Dalton is the father of atomic theory.
2 days ago · Electrons were discovered in 1897 by J.J. Thomson. During experiments with cathode rays, J.J. Thomson observed particles with a negative charge and a much smaller mass than that of an atom. This groundbreaking discovery revolutionized the understanding of atomic structure and laid the foundation for modern physics .
1 day ago · From his experiments, J. J. Thomson concluded that A. cathode ray particles can move at very fast speeds. B. cathode ray particles can be moved by electric current. C. atoms contain small positively charged particles that are called protons.
Jun 19, 2024 · Postulates of Thomson’s atomic model: According to Thomson atoms were positively charged spheres and the electrons were embedded in it. The negative and positive charges were equal in magnitude, so the overall atom was electrically neutral. The positive charge on the atom was uniformly distributed.
Not until the late 19th century did any understanding of individual particles come about, with J.J. Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom as a neutral composite consisting of individual negative particles or electrons embedded in a blob of positive charge.
