J.J. Thompson was the person who suggested the plum pudding model for the atomic structure. He declared that the electrons are located between a cloud of the positive charges. This model was proven incorrect from the alpha particle experiment done by Ernest Rutherford.

Thomson discovered the electron and came up with the 'raisin bun' model of an atom. He proposed that the atom is mostly made of positively charged matter, with small negatively charged electrons scattered randomly throughout.

Thomsons model had electrons moving through a "sea of positive charge", sometimes called the plum pudding model.

The Thomson atomic model displayed the atom as a sphere of uniformly distributed positively charged matter. Scattered among the protons were enough negatively charged electrons to balance the charge.

The Thompson atomic model refers to the random distribution of electrons throughout the atom.
