Question
why is the plum pudding model of the atom wrong? it suggested that atoms contain protons and neutrons in the nucleus. it claimed that negative charge was embedded in a mass of positive charge. it claimed that elements are mostly empty space. its not wrong. which image below would properly complete this chart? subatomic particle charge mass (amu) location proton neutron electron
The Plum - Pudding model claimed that negative charges (electrons) were embedded in a mass of positive charge. This was disproven by the discovery of the atomic nucleus. Protons have a positive charge (+1), mass of approximately 1 AMU and are located in the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge (0), mass of approximately 1 AMU and are located in the nucleus. Electrons have a negative charge (- 1), very small mass (about $\frac{1}{1836}$ AMU) and are located outside the nucleus in electron - shells.

- Proton: Charge: +1, Mass (AMU): 1, Location: Nucleus
Neutron: Charge: 0, Mass (AMU): 1, Location: Nucleus
Electron: Charge: - 1, Mass (AMU): $\frac{1}{1836}$, Location: Outside the nucleus in electron - shells
