Answer 1

The positive charges

Explanation:

In Thomson's model of the atom, the pudding represents the positively charged particles in an atom and the plum denotes the negative charges in the medium.

• The plum pudding model of the atom was predicted by J.J Thomson after he discovered electrons through his experiment on the gas discharge tube.
• He suggested that an atom looks like a plum pudding with positive charges serving as the pudding and the negative charges the plum.
• The positive charges occupied a medium of space and the negative charges are located in it.
• Over the years, other more correct models have been proposed.
• Nuclear model was proposed by Rutherford.
• Bohr model was proposed by Neils Bohr
