Thomsons model is sometimes called the plum pudding model as he envisaged a soup of positive charge with negative charges, by then already called electrons swimming round. He came up with this idea in 1904.

"the atoms of the elements consist of a number of negatively electrified corpuscles enclosed in a sphere of uniform positive electrification"

Rutherford following on from the famous scattering experiment with gold foil and alpha particles proposed that the positive charge was concentrated in a central nucleus.

How did thomsons atomic model differ from daltons model?

If i remember correctly, Dalton's focuses more on the nucleus while Thompson's focuses more on electrons. But I'm not sure. well in 1803 John Dalton makes a strong case that atoms are small, solid balls and Joeseph John Thompson discovers electrons, and developed plum pudding model of an atom..... Dalton says that nothings smaller than the atom, but Thompson says that electrons are.


How did Rutherfords findings change Thomsons plum pudding model?

Rutherford supposed that the atom had a central positive nucleus surrounded by negative electrons.
