Solution

J.J. Thomson said that atom consists of a positively charged sphere with embedded electrons in it.
However, later it was found that the atom has concentrated mass and the positively charged nucleus is at the centre while the negatively charged electrons move in the shells around the nucleus.
Hope, this answers your question.
Best wishes!
