In 1897, J.J. Thomson proposed the 'plum pudding' model of the atom.

According to the plum pudding model:

  • The atom is a sphere of uniform positive charge.
  • Negative electrons are embedded randomly throughout this positive charge.
  • There is no empty space within the atom.

Give two differences between Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom and today's nuclear model of the atom.
