The crossword clue "Subject of the obsolete 'plum pudding model'" leads to the answer "ATOM."
The "plum pudding model" was an early scientific theory about the structure of the atom, proposed by British physicist J.J. Thomson in 1904. According to this model, atoms were thought to be composed of a positively charged "pudding" with negatively charged "plums" (electrons) scattered throughout. This model was eventually disproven by Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment in 1911, which revealed that atoms have a dense, positively charged nucleus at their center, leading to the development of the nuclear model of the atom. While the plum pudding model is now obsolete, it was an important step in the evolution of atomic theory.
