�.........*.......*.......*.......*.......*.......*.......*.......*.......*.< He next turned his attention to how the positive and negative charges are distributed in an atom. He favoured the idea that the positive charge was uniformly distributed over the volume of the atom, with the negative corpuscles somehow embedded inside. This was his famous "plum pudding" model of the atom. It should be possible to calculate the stable positions of the corpuscles within such an atom by mathematical methods alone. However these calculations become extremely complex when there is more than one corpuscle present, and without the aid of modern computers Thomson had to resort to a two-dimensional mechanical model. As it happened, a suitable model had already been devised by Professor Mayer, though presumably for different purposes. The model consisted of a number of identical magnets attached to corks floating on a dish of water. A large electromagnet was held above the centre of the dish, so that the magnets would be attracted to the centre but repelled from each other just like the corpuscles in an atom. With one magnet in the dish, it would of course come to rest in the centre. With between two and five magnets, they would spread themselves into a circle around the electromagnet. However, with more than five magnets Mayer found that a single circle was not a stable arrangement. Instead the magnets would form into concentric rings. For example ten magnets would arrange themselves into an inner ring of three and an outer ring of seven. Thomson showed considerable insight in suggesting that the corpuscles inside an atom might follow a similar pattern. He correctly pointed out that each new ring in Mayer's sequence might represent a row in the Periodic Table. Then the number of corpuscles in the outer ring would determine the main chemical properties of the element, and which "group" or column of the Table it belonged to. This explanation of periodicity is not far removed from the that of the modern quantum mechanical atom. Ironically, Professor Mayer's model was closer to the true structure of the atom than Thomson's own idea. The positive charge represented by the electromagnet is all concentrated at the centre of Mayer's dish like the nucleus of an atom, while Thomson believed it should be distributed all over the atom. It is doubtful that this made the results any more realistic however, as the model was still only two-dimensional. Not everybody believed Thomson's revolutionary conclusions immediately. Indeed he says in his Recollections and Reflections that one distinguished physicist present at the Royal Institution thought Thomson had been "pulling their legs". Most German physicists continued to believe that cathode rays were waves, at least for a few months. Kaufmann for example said that the constant value of m/e supported the aether theory, for it showed that the rays were not part of the material in the tube. However it was still Thomson's work
