Answer
1: electron; 2 : plum pudding
Explanation
This question refers to J. J. Thomson's groundbreaking work in atomic theory. It's known that, in the late 19th century, this British scientist discovered the electron, which influenced the development of the atomic model. From the options given, we can disregard choices involving the neutron, as it wasn't really discovered by Thomson, and it definitely didn't influence any plum pudding model in atomic theory.The second part of the thesis refers to a specific model, the "plum pudding model", mentioned by Thomson after his discovery. Hence the answer uses these two keywords: electron and plum pudding model.
