The document discusses the historical development of atomic theory, highlighting key experiments and discoveries related to subatomic particles such as electrons, protons, and neutrons. It covers the contributions of scientists like John Dalton, J.J. Thomson, and Ernest Rutherford, detailing their findings on the structure and behavior of atoms. Additionally, it introduces models of the atom, including Thomson's 'plum pudding' model and Rutherford's nuclear model, leading to the later development of Bohr's theory.

4.4.1 Thomson Model of Atom
JJ Thorson in 1904 proposed that
#An atom is a uniform sphere of positive electricity in which
electrons are embedded. ==
* The number of electrons embedded is such that the total oa)
negative charge on all the electrons is equal to the positive __/¢ discovered election and coe
charge. So, the atom as a whole is electrically neutral. the first model of the atom
This model is sometimes called plum-pudding
model, where the pudding represents the
sphere of positive electricity and the bits of
plums scattered in the pudding are electrons.
The model is also, sometimes, called
watermelon model because the red, edible
portion may be thought to represent the
positive sphere and the seeds are ike electrons
embedded init
