How do the plum pudding model and Rutherfords model of an atom differ?

The plum pudding model displays the atom as negatively charged electron embedded in a fluid of positive charge, thus the name plum for the electron and the pudding for the positive fluid thought to balance the negative charges. The Rutherford model is based on the gold foil experiment and it has a nucleus in which is extremely small, positively charged and dense. The model has lots of empty space around the nucleus which was where the electrons were placed.

When was rutherfords model created?
Rutherfords Model is Rutherfords Model... thats it, its just a model.. go look it up on google images im sure you will figure it out by then.
How did Rutherfords findings change Thomsons plum pudding model?
Rutherford supposed that the atom had a central positive nucleus surrounded by negative electrons.
Was Rutherfords model of an atom incorrect or incomplete?
incorrect
What was Thomson's model of the atomic atom?
according to jj thomsons model of an atom,an atom consists of a positively charged sphere with electrons in it.however,it was later found that positively charged particles reside at the center of the atom called nucleus,and the electrons revolve around the nucleus.
What was Thomson's model atom called?
The name was plum pudding.
What did JJ Thomson call his model of the atom?
Plum-pudding model of atom.
What was Thompson's model of the atom called?
its called the plum pudding model
What did the pudding represent in the plum pudding model?
Thomson's plum pudding model is the model of an atom in which an atom is regarded as a sphere of size 10^(-10)m radius and positively charged matter in which electrons were embedded. Thomson used the pudding as the positive charge and the plums as the negative charge. The plums are stuck in the pudding just as electrons are randomly found in an atom.
what did bohrs model of the atom include that rutherfords model did not have?
Niels Bohr introduced the notion of electronic orbits.
How did Rutherfords model of the atom different from thomsons?
The Rutherford model involve a positive nucleus separated from electrons.
How did Rutherfords work help form the present day model of a atom?
The atomic model of Rutherford was a step in the historical development of the today concept of an atom.
According to the plum pudding model electrons are distributed randomly thoughtout the positively charge pudding of the atom?
Atom
