Key Points

  • The “plum pudding model” was put forward by J. J. Thomson in 1904.
    • In this model, the atom is made up of negative electrons that float in a “soup” of positive charge.
  • Ernest Rutherford published his atomic theory describing the atom as having a central positive nucleus surrounded by negative orbiting electrons.
    • This model suggested that most of the mass of the atom was contained in the small nucleus and that the rest of the atom was mostly empty space
  • Louise de Broglie suggested that electrons exhibit a dual nature.
    • Broglie also got Physics Nobel Prize for his theory.
  • In 1913, Bohr proposed his quantized shell model of the atom to explain how electrons can have stable orbits around the nucleus.
