J.J. Thomson proposed the 'plum pudding' model of the atom in 1904, depicting it as a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electrons embedded within it. This model aimed to explain the neutrality of atoms by balancing the charges. Although later models replaced it, this concept was groundbreaking for its time in advancing atomic theory.
