Question #1
Which scientist proposed the 'Plum Pudding' model of the atom?
A. Ernest Rutherford
B. John Dalton
C. J.J. Thomson
D. Niels Bohr

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
J.J. Thomson proposed the 'Plum Pudding' model in 1904 after discovering the electron. He envisioned the atom as a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electrons embedded within it, like plums in a pudding. This was later disproved by Rutherford's gold foil experiment.

Question #2
The scientist who first proposed that electrons move in specific orbits around the nucleus was:
A. Ernest Rutherford
B. Niels Bohr
C. J. J. Thomson
D. James Chadwick

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Niels Bohr in 1913 proposed the planetary model where electrons revolve in certain allowed circular orbits without radiating energy, with quantized angular momentum. Rutherford proposed the nuclear model but did not specify quantized orbits. Thomson gave plum pudding. Chadwick discovered neutron.
