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The plum pudding model became outdated in 1909 - 1911 when experiments showed that the positively charged atoms were extremely small.

Why is plum-pudding and raisin bread a good comparison when talking about JJ Thomson's model of the atom?
Thomson believed that electrons were attached to the nucleus like plums in pudding or raisins in bread.
What are the key structural features of Thomson's 'Plum pudding' model?
Thompson's plum pudding model was that the raisin were negatively charged (electrons) and that the rest of the pudding positively charged.
In Thomas plum pudding model of the atom the plugs represent?
The plugs represent the electrons.
In Thomson's plum pudding model what do the plums represent?
The plums represent the electrons, which has a negative charge.
In Thomson and plum-pudding model of the atom the plums represent?
The plums represent negative electrons
In thomson's raisin-bun model what were the electrical charges on the raisins buns?
The charges were the negative charges of the electrons surrounding the nucleus of the atom.
In Thomsons Raisin Bun model what were the electrical charges on the bun and the raisins?
The charge of the negative charge of electrons surrounding the nucleus of the atom.
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.
The Thomson model of the atom views it as a?
The Thomson atomic model is referred to as the blueberry muffin or plum pudding model. The name is derived from the visual interpretation that an atom is a circle with electrons arranged non-randomly in rotating rings. The electron placement is said to resemble the raisins in plum pudding or the berries in a muffin.
What is the raisin bread theory?
The raisin bread theory is a metaphor used to explain the expansion of the universe. Just like how raisins in a rising bread dough move away from each other as the dough expands, galaxies in the universe are moving away from each other due to the expansion of space.
What was Thompson's model of the atom called?
its called the plum pudding model
What was JJ Thomsons 1904 model called?
The model was called the: The Plum Pudding Model
