What are the differences between the plum pudding and planetary models of the atom?

The plum pudding model describes the atom as a pudding, occupying most of the volume an atom occupies. The pudding is positively charged. Inside the large pudding are negatively charged specs (plums), representing electrons. This model was found to be flawed because, when alpha particles were fired at atoms, it was found that a proportion of the positively charged alpha particles consisting of two neutrons and two protons backscattered. This meant that the positive charge density (charge per unit volume) of the atom must have been greater than what was described by the plum pudding model. For this to make sense, most of the atom must actually have been a vacuum. Therefore, the planetary model was created to describe atom more accurately. In the planetary model (nuclear model), the atom consists of electrons orbiting a nucleus. The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons.

What are the major models on the structure of the atom?
There are many, but here are the main ones: 1) Dalton's Billiard Ball Model 2) Thompson's Plum Pudding Model 3) Lewis's Cubical Atom Model 4) Rutherford's Planetary Model 5) Bohr's Model 6) Schrodinger's Electron Cloud Model
Is there an upper limit of temperature?
In contemporary models the highest temperature is Plank Temperature equal to 1.417 X 10^32 degrees Celsius. Actually at such a temperature the differences between the temperature scales are irrelevant.
Why are all models limited?
Models only show what you know
Limitations of models?
Models only represent known possibilities for simulations. Models are limited by what a research determines will happen. A model can't demonstrate problems that are unknown.
How is physical model different from mathematical model?
A mathematical model is made up of mathematical equations and data. These models allow you to calculate things such as how far a car will travel in an hour or how much you could weigh on the moon. Physical models are models that you can touch. Toy cars, models of buildings, maps, and globes are all physical models.
What are the major difference between the plum pudding and planetary models of the atom?
The plum pudding model of an atom has not a nucleus; in 1904 the nucleus, protons, neutrons were not discovered. See the link below.
What are the other general example of atomic models other than plum pudding atomic model?
Bohr's planetary model Rutherford's model
What are the differences between qualitative and quantitative models?
distinguish between qualitative and quantitative model
What is the difference between different models of curriculum design?
Different models of curriculum design vary in their approach and focus. For example, the Tyler model is more focused on defining objectives and outcomes, while the Taba model emphasizes collaboration and student input. The Hilda Taba model also places importance on evaluation and reflection throughout the curriculum design process.
What is the difference between the geocentric and heliocetric models of planetary motion?
Heliocentric is the motion of earth around the sun. Geocentric is the motion of earth rotating about its axis.

What are the differences between different HP Photo Printer models?
HP photo printers can vary by size and portability. The more expensive models can produce higher quality photos. It all depends on the model that you purchase.
