Today we continued learning about how the model for the atom was developed.
We moved from Thomson's model part one. then moved on to explain how this Thomson's model was disproven by Rutherford's model.
We discussed the Thomson's model is like a chocolate cookie ball or what he coined as the plum pudding model. Here a ball of positively charged particles has embedded in it negatively charged particles. (See the image below.)
We then discussed how Rutherford a student of Thomson came up with a new model of the atom. (See below.)
