Question 47

In 1897, J.J. Thomson proposed the 'plum pudding' model, which represented the atom as a sphere of positive charge with embedded electrons. In 1911, Ernest Rutherford developed the nuclear model of the atom after analyzing the results of the alpha particle scattering experiment.

State two differences between Thomson's 'plum pudding' model and Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom.
