Thomson visualized electrons as currants in a Christmas pudding or seeds in a watermelon, studded within the positively charged sphere of the atom.
Thomson visualized electrons embedded within a positively charged “plum pudding” or “raisin bun” matrix, akin to raisins in a cake, where the positive charge distributed throughout the atom counterbalanced the negative charge of the electrons.
