I would say plum pudding, because the movement of electrons is sporadic, and the layout does look like plums in pudding.

Answer:

B) specific energy levels

Step-by-step explanation:

  • An electron is found in shells or orbits and that is surrounded by the nucleus of the atom and the protons and nucleus are found in the nucleus of the atom and thus have different numbers and are unique in terms of the characteristics.
