What about Thomson's atomic watermelon model or raisin bread model?

Thomson believed that the atom contained a uniform anode sphere in which several negative electrons moved. According to Alfred Mayer's research on the balance of floating magnets, he proved that if the number of electrons does not exceed a certain limit, the ring formed by these running electrons will be stable. If the number of electrons exceeds this limit, it will be listed as two rings, and so on. In this way, the increase of electrons leads to the periodic similarity in structure, and the repeated reappearance of physical and chemical properties in Mendeleev's periodic table may also be explained.

In this model proposed by Thomson, the distribution of electrons in the sphere is a bit like raisins dotted in a cake. Many people call Thomson's atomic model "raisin cake model". It can not only explain why atoms are electrically neutral and how electrons are distributed in atoms, but also explain cathode ray phenomenon and the phenomenon that metals can emit electrons under ultraviolet radiation. Moreover, according to this model, it can be estimated that the size of the atom is about 10-8 cm, which is an amazing thing. Because Thomson model can explain many experimental facts at that time, it is easily accepted by many physicists.
