Aristotle and Plato favored the earth, fire, air and water
approach to the nature of matter.
Their ideas held sway because of their eminence as
philosophers. The ‘Atomos’ idea was buried for
approximately 2000 years.
Reasoning:
▪Since atoms were electrically neutral but contained negatively charged
electrons, they must also contain an equal amount of positive charge.
▪Thomson had no experimental evidence for his model but built on Lord
Kelvin’s idea that positive charge in an atom was spread evenly and
diffusely throughout a spherical shape.
