The old model of the atom was that of protons and electrons embedded in the atom randomly like pieces in a pudding. We now know that this is not true and hence we have discarded this Plum pudding model of the atom

Describe the location of the electrons in Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom?
The location of the electrons in the Thomson's plum pudding
model of the atom are contained in orbitals. These orbitals are
what make the element stable or unstable.

Which subatomic particle did Thomson include in the plum-pudding model of the atom?
Electrons were added in the Plum Pudding Model. At the time they
were known as corpuscles. The model was intended to show how
electrons were arranged in the atom relative to protons.
Asked in Atoms and Atomic Structure
Is the modern model of the atom used today the Plum Pudding model?
The "Plum Pudding" Model of the atom was abandoned over a
century ago, when it was shown, pretty conclusively, that all
positive charge resides in a small nucleus at the center of each
atom.

Is the plum pudding model the best way of representing the atom?
No, it is a very obsolete model.
Asked in Raisins
What do the raisins represent in the raisin pudding model of the atom?
The 'raisin pudding' model of the atom is more traditionally
called the 'plum pudding model'.
The plums represented negatively charged corpuscles (electrons)
surrounded by a positively charged pudding.
The plum pudding model became outdated in 1909 - 1911 when
experiments showed that the positively charged atoms were extremely
small.
Asked in Atoms and Atomic Structure, Pudding
What is the plum pudding model of the atom?
The plum pudding model of the atom, forwarded by J.J. Thomson,
stated that the atom was like a plum pudding. The negatively
charged electrons were evenly distributed throughout a positive
"web" or "soup" much like plums in plum pudding are distributed
here and there in the pudding.
It was Rutherford, based on his observations with the gold foil
experiment, who was able to push this theory aside and cause a
shift in thinking to the idea that most of the mass of the atom was
concentrated in a small volume within a given atom.

What is Thomson's 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.
