Recall all the models you described in task 1. Think about the results each model would predict for Thomson’s experiment. Which atomic models does Thomson’s experimental evidence support? Explain why these models are compatible with the experimental results.

J.J. Thomson’s experiments with cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom, which had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged “soup.”
