The discontinuous theory of matter was used when to developing this model. Greek philosophers Democritus and Leucippus suggested that matter is made of particles so small and indestructible they cannot be divided into anything smaller.

Thomson concluded that atoms are made up of both positive and negative charged particles, with each type of particle distributed evenly throughout the mass of the atom. This became the structure for Thomson's model.

This model differs from the previous model because unlike the Bohr model it does not show the paths of electrons. Instead it shows the probable location of an electron.
