    Answer: 4) Negative particles are embedded in atoms

    Explanation:

    The plum pudding model of the atom depicts the atom as a solid sphere, positvely charged (pudding), and the negative charge, electrons (plums) uniformly distributed in the solid sphere (embedded in the pudding).

    This is the electrons were distributed uniformly inside in a whole positive charge, just like plums in a pudding.

    The scientist J. J. Thompson firts proposed this model to explain the neutral nature of the matter after the discovery of the electron.

    Later, by 1911, the scientist Ernest Rutherforf, came out with the nuclear model of the atom as result of the gold foil experiment, which leat to think that the atom was mostly empty space (electrons surrounding a tiny nucleus).
