J.J. Thompson's model of the atom is also known as the "plum pudding" model. Thompson modeled the atom as a mixture of positive protons amongst negatively charged electrons.
Ernest Rutherford proved this model to be incorrect when he showed that the positive protons of an atom are located in the central nucleus. If the nucleus of a hydrogen atom were expanded to the size of a tennis ball, the electrons surrounding the nucleus would be (on average) several kilometers away from the nucleus.
== == it was something called the "plum-pudding" model
The Thomson model involve electrons floating in a mass of positive charges.

Plum-pudding model of atom.
Thomson is responsible for discovering that an atom contains electrons.
The first model of the atom was developed by Thomson.
Thomson hadn't an instrument; this model is only a hypothesis.
J.J. Thomson discovered the electron and proposed the plum-pudding model for the atom.
JJ Thomson called his model of the atom the plum pudding model.

J.J. Thomson, also known for discovering the electron, also proposed a model of the atom in 1904. This model is known as both the plum pudding model and the blueberry muffin model, and it posits that the atom is made up of electrons which are surrounded by a "pudding" of positive charges.
