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The plum pudding model became outdated in 1909 - 1911 when experiments showed that the positively charged atoms were extremely small.
Plum pudding and raisin bread are good comparisons for Thomson's model of the atom because both posit a positively charged "pudding" with negatively charged "raisins" embedded within, similar to Thomson's idea of the atom having a "sea" of positive charge with electrons scattered throughout. This analogy helps to illustrate the distribution of charge within the atom proposed by Thomson.
Thompson's plum pudding model was that the raisin were negatively charged (electrons) and that the rest of the pudding positively charged.
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 nickname for Thompson's atomic model is the "plum pudding model." This model suggests that atoms are made up of a positively charged "pudding" with negatively charged electrons embedded within it, resembling plums in a pudding.
The plugs represent the electrons.
The plums represent the electrons, which has a negative charge.
The plums represent negative electrons
The charges were the negative charges of the electrons surrounding the nucleus of the atom.

The raisin bun theory is a model of the universe's structure that suggests galaxies are like raisins embedded in a rising dough, representing space itself. As the dough expands, the raisins move away from each other, illustrating how galaxies are receding as the universe expands. It is called the "raisin bun theory" because the analogy of a bun filled with raisins effectively visualizes the distribution of galaxies in an expanding universe. This model helps to explain the observed redshift of distant galaxies as evidence of cosmic expansion.
The scientist who proposed the plum pudding model, also known as the chocolate chip cookie dough model, was J.J. Thomson. In this model, electrons were embedded in a positively charged sphere, much like raisins in a plum pudding or chocolate chips in cookie dough.
