The plum pudding model of the atom, forwarded by J.J. Thomson, stated that the atom was like a plum pudding. The negatively charged electrons were evenly distributed throughout a positive "web" or "soup" much like plums in plum pudding are distributed here and there in the pudding.

It was Rutherford, based on his observations with the gold foil experiment, who was able to push this theory aside and cause a shift in thinking to the idea that most of the mass of the atom was concentrated in a small volume within a given atom.

What is the relationship between atomic radius and the corresponding model radius?

Atomic radius refers to the size of an atom, while model radius is the size of the atom as represented in a molecular or atomic model. In most models, the model radius is larger than the atomic radius in order to make the structure more visible and distinguishable. The relationship between the two is that the model radius is typically proportional to the atomic radius but scaled up for clarity.


Are there any limitations of Chadwick's atomic model?

Yes, Chadwick's atomic model did not fully explain the properties of the electron cloud or electron behavior within an atom. It also did not delve into the concept of electron energy levels and their relationship to atomic spectra.

What is the name of Schrodinger atomic model?

The Schrödinger atomic model is known as the Quantum Mechanical Model or the Wave Mechanical Model. It describes electrons in atoms as standing waves guided by probability equations rather than fixed circular orbits.


What is the atom model called?

The atom model is called the "Bohr model," named after Niels Bohr who proposed it in 1913. This model describes the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons in specific energy levels or orbits.

Chadwick's atomic model?

Chadwick's atomic model, proposed by James Chadwick in 1932, introduced the concept of the neutron in the atomic nucleus. This model helped to explain the stability of the nucleus and resolved some of the issues with the Rutherford atomic model, specifically the absence of sufficient mass in the nucleus to account for its positive charge. The discovery of the neutron as a neutral particle in the nucleus was a significant advancement in our understanding of atomic structure.
