uses and limitations of using models in science. The Plum Pudding Model is an atom model proposed by J.J Thomson‚ the physicist who discovered the electron. In Thomson’s "Plum Pudding Model" each atom was a sphere filled with a positively charged fluid. The fluid was called the "pudding." Scattered in this fluid were electrons known as the "plums."
