J.J. Thomson proposed the ‘Plum Pudding Model’ for an atom.

The Plum Pudding Model suggested that the atom was a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electrons embedded within it, much like plums in a pudding.

Ernest Rutherford’s gold foil experiment later disproved the Plum Pudding Model, leading to the development of the nuclear model of the atom. Antoine Lavoisier is known as the ‘father of modern chemistry’ for his work on the law of conservation of mass. Robert Boyle is known for Boyle’s Law relating to gases.
