The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Statement**: The question states that the Plum Pudding atomic model was suggested by Rutherford. 2. **Clarify the Origin of the Model**: The statement is incorrect. The Plum Pudding model was not proposed by Rutherford; it was actually proposed by J.J. Thomson in 1898. 3. **Explain the Plum Pudding Model**: According to J.J. Thomson's Plum Pudding model, the atom consists of a positively charged "soup" in which electrons (the "plums") are embedded. This means that the total mass and positive charge of the atom are uniformly distributed throughout the atom, with electrons scattered randomly within it. 4. **Differentiate Between Models**: Rutherford proposed a different model known as the Nuclear Atomic Model. In this model, he suggested that atoms have a small, dense nucleus that contains most of the atom's mass and is positively charged, with electrons orbiting around this nucleus. 5. **Conclude the Answer**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "No," the Plum Pudding atomic model was not suggested by Rutherford; it was proposed by J.J. Thomson. ---
