The Plum Pudding or Raisin Bun Model J.J. Thomson The Plum Pudding or Raisin Bun Model
one indivisible sphere. The Problem… Dalton Model Matter consists of tiny particles, atoms The Particles are indestructible Atoms of each element have a different mass Atoms react and combine in simple whole number ratios Atoms are one indivisible sphere.
The Design… Cathode ray tube Electrometer Magnets
The Experiment & Evidence Actually there were three 1) Using the cathode ray tube and the electrometer, no charge was indicated unless the ray was deflected towards the electrometer The charge is a property of the ray.
The Experiment & Evidence 2) Using the cathode ray tube and magnets, he deflected the ray The deflection direction indicates a negative charge.
The Experiment & Evidence 3) Thomson measures the mass-to-charge ratio of the rays by measuring how much it is deflected by the magnetic field & how much energy it carried The ratio is 1,000 times smaller than that of the H+, these particles have less mass then the lightest atom known.
The New Model… Suggested a sphere of positive matter “Corpuscles” = negative charge Positioned in the Positive matter by electrostatic forces A jigsaw of smaller pieces Making up the atom
