After the discovery of electrons and protons it was necessary to know how these particles are arranged within the atom. Various scientists tried to describe this structure and after subsequent improvements through experiments, the structure of an atom is well defined toda..

J.J.Thomson proposed the first simple and most primitive model in 1898, which considered an atom to be a sphere of uniform positive charge into which the negatively charged electrons were embedded. This model was like a plum pudding dotted with raisins and was thus ca..

'. The electrons are like plums in a pudding (positive charge). The seeds in a watermelon fruit can be given as a parallel comparison. With this model he tried to explain the observed spectra of elements. According to him, the vibrations of electrons would give rise to electromagnetic ene..

J. J Thomson the discoverer of the electron believed that the atom is a uniform sphere of positive charge with electrons (raisins) embedded in it. This model explained the electrical neutrality of atom, but it failed to explain how these fundamental partic..

'Raisin Pudding' Model - Thomson's model of atom : J. J Thomson the discoverer of the electron believed that the atom is a uniform sphere of positive charge with electrons (raisins) embedded in i..

. In 1793, he left for Manchester to teach physics and chemistry in a college. In 1801, he observed and discovered the law of expansion of gases on heating. He also enunciated the law of partial pressures and found methods of determining vapour pressure of gases. He invented the dew point hygromete..

In 1885, Sir William Crookes carried out a series of investigations into the behaviour of metals heated in a vacuum. The experiment of Crookes and others showed that a heated cathode produced a stream of radiation, which could cause gases at low pressure to glow and which, make other substances em..

When the pressure in the discharge tube is less than 10 - 4 mm of Hg, the discharge tube starts showing fluorescence. When this fluorescence was investigated, it was found that the fluorescence consisted of beams of negatively charged electrons. These electrons emanate normally from the cathode. As..
