The ring configurations for classical two-dimensional (2D) atoms are calculated within the Thomson model and compared with the results from `exact' numerical simulations. The influence of the functional form of the confinement potential and the repulsive interaction potential between the particles on the configurations is investigated. We also give exact results for those eigenmodes of the system whose frequency does not depend on the number of particles in the system.
