Thomson likened the atom to a Christmas pudding or a watermelon, where electrons were compared to currants or seeds embedded within a positively charged sphere.
J.J. Thomson’s model described the atom as a positively charged sphere with embedded negatively charged electrons, akin to raisins within a plum pudding. This “plum pudding” model suggested that atoms were not indivisible but comprised of smaller, subatomic particles.
