who said this - I think Bohr

choices are:
Bohr
rutherford
wave model
Thompson
democritius

Answer 1

Bohr is right

Answer 2

An atom is made of positively charged pudding like material through whic hnegatively cahrged particels are scattered

I put thompson -

now I am not sure after reading winnepedia maybe rutherford??

Answer 3

The J.J. Thomson (note the spelling) model was the pudding model. Rutherford was a student of Thomson and discovered alpha particles. In experiemnts after graduating, Rutherford noted that his alpha particle scattering experiments could not be explained by the Thomson model; therefore, he proposed the idea that the mass of the atom was at the center, the center was positively charged, and electrons were somewhere outside the nucleus. (He didn't know about neutrons--they were not discovered until later).
