 * 1st to construct a model of the atom.

His Atomic Theory - He pictured the atom as a sphere with a distributed positive charge, surrounded by enough electrons to neutralize the positve charge. - Thomson worked with Strokes on hydrodynamical studies which Thomson applied to electrical and atomic theroy. - He thought that electromagnetic forces were producing "vortex atoms."

What Thomson added to past models? - The advantage of the Thomson atom was that if the electrons were removed they would attempt to go back to their regular positions.

One Problem with his atomic model was..................
