Thomson likened the structure of an atom to a Christmas pudding, where electrons were compared to currants embedded within a positively charged sphere.
J.J. Thomson’s atomic model proposed a “plum pudding” structure, where negatively charged electrons were embedded in a positively charged sphere, akin to plums in a pudding, rather than a solid mass.
