Question

1. compare and contrast thomsons plum pudding atomic model with rutherfords nuclear atomic model.

Explanation:

Thomson's plum - pudding model proposed that atoms are a sphere of positive charge with electrons (negative charges) embedded like plums in pudding. Rutherford's nuclear model, from the gold - foil experiment, showed that atoms have a small, dense, positively - charged nucleus with electrons orbiting around it. Both models deal with atomic structure. Thomson's is more uniform in charge distribution (except for electrons), while Rutherford's has a concentrated nucleus.

Answer:

Thomson's plum - pudding model: atoms as positive sphere with embedded electrons. Rutherford's nuclear model: small, dense nucleus with orbiting electrons. Both about atomic structure; Thomson's uniform (except electrons), Rutherford's has nucleus.
