Thomson proposed the "plum pudding" model - randomly scattered positive charges and negative charges held in a sphere

Rutherford disagreed with Thomson with his gold foil experiment - proposed that at the centre of an atom was a dense, positive mass and around it were very small negative charges called electrons
