Thomson’s atomic model
Prepared by: Tahani Hazazi
Thomson model Introduction
William Thomson proposed Thomson's atomic model in 1900. The
model described the inner structure of the atom theoretically. An earlier
discovery of the electron was strongly supported by Sir Joseph
Thomson.
A negatively charged particle was discovered during a cathode ray tube
experiment by James Thomas. In 1897, this experiment was conducted.
Vacuum tubes are cathode ray tubes. An electron is a negative particle.
Thomson believed that an atom is composed of thousands of electrons
and that an electron is two thousand times lighter than a proton. A cloud
of positive and negative charges surrounded the atoms in this atomic
structure model. Together with Rutherford, he also demonstrated the
ionization of air by X-ray. It was the first time it had been demonstrated.
A plum pudding is Thomson's model of an atom.
Plum Pudding Atomic Theory
It has been proposed by Thomson that the shape of an atom is similar to
that of a sphere with a radius of 10-10 meters. Atoms are
electrostatically stable because positively charged particles are
uniformly distributed and electrons are arranged in a uniform manner.
According to Thomson, his atomic model is also known as a plum
pudding model or a watermelon model. An electron embedded in the
seed of a watermelon represents a positive charge distribution, while the
red mass of the watermelon represents the seed. According to plum
pudding atomic theory, atoms have uniform mass distribution.
Postulates of Thomson’s atomic model
Thomson's atomic model holds that an atom is made up of electrons
(negatively charged particles) inside a positive charge sphere.
Atoms are electrically neutral because their positive and negative
charges are equal in magnitude.
In addition to resembling a spherical plum pudding, Thomson's atomic
model also resembles a watermelon. As with a spherical plum pudding,
the electrons in the model look like dry fruits embedded in a sphere of
positive charge. A watermelon has also been compared to the model
because the red edible part is like the sphere with a positive charge, and
the black seeds fill the watermelon are like the electrons.
Limitations of Thomson’s atomic model
 It failed to explain how an atom's negatively charged electrons are
held together by a positive charge, which is the reason why it was
unable to explain the stability of an atom. Due to this, this theory
did not account for the nucleus' position within an atom.
 The scattering of alpha particles by thin metal foils cannot be
explained by Thomson's model
 Neither experimental nor theoretical evidence supports it
 Conclusion
The Thomson atomic model provided the basis for several other models
of atomic structure afterward, although it was inaccurate and had a few
drawbacks. A foundation model for later significant and revolutionary
inventions, it is one of the most important models.
