Thomson's Plum Pudding Model of the Atom

  • JJ Thomson proposed the first model of the atom with subatomic structure. He had performed a series of experiments and was credited with the discovery of the first sub-atomic particle, the electron. He therefore proposed a new model of the atom called the plum pudding model. In this model, the plums represent negatively charged electrons which can be plucked out of the atom, leaving behind some positively charged pudding. In this film, cherry tart is used as a delicious substitute for plum pudding.

    Actually that example was wrong. Because the Atom is neutral their would be an equal force pulling the electron and pushing the positive protons would it not? But if it was some how able to pull away the electron then the atom would shoot away because they are now both Positive IONS. So wouldn't the Atom also pull away an electron from the positive one?

    • @Soulsphere001

    The Atom model proposed by JJ Thomson was not as simple as a "plum pudding". He and his fellow scientists worked out and proposed the positions of multi-electron atoms where the electrons occupied the equilibrium positions of the atom. His work was of significant scientific importance and should have been said in this video. Without it the video is incomplete.

  • @ilghiz

    Have you ever thought that it's not the atom that turned out to be cuttable but the wrong thing was called atom. For today, the ultimate uncuttable thing is string. But of course, it's a bit too late to rename concepts ))

    • @Itwasalwaysme_Noone
      @Itwasalwaysme_Noone Před 9 lety +7

      ilghiz Atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of the original matter (a chemical element)
      You can't cut a Hydrogen atom and then have something being a Hydrogen ''something".
      If you cut an atom then you have the simple blocks of matter that composes everything else. Whatever those particles are, they are universal building blocks and they don't have properties of a specific material.

    Just a question, when the atom wa discovered, they named it atom because they thougth it was un-cuttable, or an atom has a measure? beacause even now we keep discovering smaller and smaller particles

    • @annaheath2967
      @annaheath2967 Před 5 lety +1

      The concept of an atom was first thought of by a Greek philosopher, Democritus, who used the Latin word "atomos" to name his theory that matter was made of tiny indivisible particles. Although the idea was basically shelved for a few thousand years because a guy named Aristotle convinced everyone that matter was made of combinations of earth, fire, water, air, and eather, the name was picked up by more modern scientists as they began to find evidence of elemental particles (like John Dalton) as a nod to this Greek, who, again, was a philosopher, not a scientist. So really you're question is flawed: they didn't discover the atom and then name it, it was named thousands of years before it was discovered.

  • @JariMustafa
    @JariMustafa Před 11 lety

    To answer Patricio Maloney. I think the reason being called atom is the term un-cuttable. However, even though we keep on discovering new smaller practicals, we can't change the name. One of the reasons I believe, is that even though the atom is made of smaller particles, we can't look at the atom as cuttable, because if you were to cut an atom, then you would have nothing and the fundamental concept or the base of existence would not exist. You would have nothing. I think :p

    • @funkyflames7430
      @funkyflames7430 Před 5 lety

      Mustafa Jari 5 years old but I believe that because they are so many fundamental particles that could be called atom we don’t refer to things like quarks and leptons as atoms.
      I also believe we call atoms, atoms because they are the most stable form of matter and have come to dominate the universe.
      Protons are extremely stable, having a half life from at least 10^30 years to eternity, the only problem I see is that the individual quarks could gain enough energy to form more quarks to reach rest energy levels.
      The protons positive charge would also push everything apart constantly.

    Knowledge that the atom had parts was not yet known in the 7th century at the time the Quran was revealed. This shows the miraculous nature of the Quran. Fyi, Muslims believe the Quran is the verbatim word of Allah, the creator of the heavens and earth and this verse definitely supports that claim given what was known at the time about the atom.
