How do you make jj Thomsons atom?

Answer 1

J.J. Thomson proposed that an atom consists of a mixture of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. In his model, the electrons can be thought of as tiny marbles suspended in a "pudding" made up of protons.

Niels Bohr found this model to be incorrect, and instead described the atom more accurately as a sort of planetary configuration. In his model, electrons orbit the nucleus which consists of the protons.

Bohr's model was backed up experimentally by Ernest Rutherford's work.

Answer 2

J.J. Thomson's atom model, known as the "plum pudding" model, describes electrons embedded in a positively charged sphere. To recreate this model, you can use a small spherical object to represent the positive charge (e.g., playdough ball) and smaller items like beads or marbles to represent electrons embedded within the sphere. This model illustrates the distribution of positive and negative charges within the atom as proposed by J.J. Thomson.
