===About the Plum Pudding Model===
: In the [[Plum Pudding Model]] the [[atom]] is [[Neutral Charge|neutral]] because the [[Negative Charge|negatively charged]] [[electron]]s are fixed within a larger sphere of [[Positive Charge|positive charge]].
: The [[Plum Pudding Model]] is named after a desert made from sponge with plums stuck inside. It was imagined that the [[atom]] had a [[sphere]] of [[Positive Charge|positive charge]] like the sponge of the cake and [[electron]]s suck inside, like the plums stuck inside the sponge.
: The [[Plum Pudding Model]] was proposed by [[J.J. Thompson]] who discovered the [[electron]] and realised it was part of an [[atom]].
: The [[Plum Pudding Model]] was proven false by [[Rutherford's Alpha Scattering Experiment]] and was replaced by the [[Nuclear Model]].
