- His model of atom could explain the neutral nature of an atom, but couldn’t explain the results of the experiments (Like Rutherford’s alpha particle scattering experiment) conducted by the scientist.
- JJ Thomson’s model suggests that it has a pool of positive charge but according to Rutherford’s experiment, most of the atom is empty while
