According to Thomson's atomic theory, the mass of an atom was special evenly throughout its volume. Errest Rutherford's experiment proved this wrong.
Jj Thompson in 1904.................. Actually it was Ernest Rutherford who Disproved it in 1911. JJ thompson was the creator of the plum pudding theory
Marie and Pierre Curie did not discover the atom. John Dalton is credited with the discovery of the atom and J.J. Thomson with the discovery of the electron.
I don't think they have a plum pudding, but if they do you should probably check Wal-Marts or CVS something like that.
what is atom
After the discovery of the nucleus positive charge (nucleus) is completely separated from the negative charges (electrons).

Thomson's discovery of the electron showed that there were things smaller than the atom that could be removed from the atom. Therefor the atom was not an "uncuttable" object as Dalton had proposed.

Leukippus, Democritus, Dalton, Bohr, Rutherford, Thomson and many others.
Thomson disproved Dalton's theory because he discovered electrons.

in 1926In the early 1900's. See Wikipedia entries for JJ Thomson and Ernest Rutherford.
that atoms can be broken
Because it was wrong, his own former student, rutherford proved him wrong.
Thomson discovered that atoms can be cut. He found this out while studying rays traveling between charged metal plates in a vacuum tube. He discovered that the rays were consisted of negatively charged particles. He had just discovered electrons. He discovered all of this on a trip from America. Since electrons are so small, he believed that they could only be from inside of the atom. Since Thomson's discovery of the electron, John Dalton's theory that atoms are indivisible had to be changed.
