What did J.J. Thomson's experiments reveal about atoms?
Atoms of different elements contain negatively charged constituents (electrons) that are identical for all atoms.
What was the first model of the atom proposed by J.J. Thomson?
The positive charge of the atom is uniformly distributed throughout the volume of the atom and the negatively charged electrons are embedded in it like seeds in a watermelon.
