J.J. Thompson's model of the atom, often refered to as the "plum pudding model" due to it's random distribution of electrons throughout the atom, suggested that negatively charged electrons were scattered about a positively charged jelly-like substance, with the charge from the positive material canceling out the negative charge from the electrons.

jj thomson proposed his model of atom in the year 1903

according to him:-

  • An atom consists of a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electrons embeded in it
  • The positive and negative charges in an atom are equal in magnitude,due to which an atom is electrically neutral.It has no overall positive or negative charge
