'. 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 energy radiat..

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 called as 'plum puddin..

Models of Atom - J.J Thomson's and Rutherford's Models - 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 experime..

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 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 particles were a..

Cathode Rays - 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 emission of particles from a hot filament was first discovered by Thomas Edison in 1883 but the effect was left unexplained until the discovery of the electron by J.J. Thomson in 189..

These experiments were conducted in detail by J.J. Thomson and he studied the passage of electricity through gases at extremely low pressure in a cylindrical glass tube. It was discovered that at extremely low pressure, gases become conductors of electricity and emit streaks of..

Even in the sixteenth century chemists knew that by heating common salt and concentrated sulphuric acid together, hydrogen chloride could be prepared. The sodium sulphate salt obtained during the reactions studied intensively for its properties is called Glauber's salt after the discoverer Johann ..

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 made other subs..
