Aa positive sphere with electrons embedded inside
Bmade of wave packets
Cmade of indivisible particles only
Da tiny nucleus with electrons orbiting
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. a positive sphere with electrons embedded inside
Thomson pictured the atom as a uniform positive sphere with negatively-charged electrons stuck in like raisins in a pudding.
Rutherford's experiment replaced this with the nuclear model.
