Atomic models

Atomic models

1. J.J.Thompson

   • The first atomic model was created in 1898 by J.J.Thompson. The model suggested a sphere made with tiny electrons sticking into it
     • Examples of this model is the "plum pudding model"

2. Rutherford's model

   • In this model, the central cluster is the nucleus of the atom. It is made of both protons and neutrons. There are also electrons floating around the cluster in an orbit
     • Examples of this model is the "central cluster" model"

3. Neils Bohr's model

   • The Danish physicist discovered that electrons do not move randomly. They resolve around an orbit. Each orbit has a different amount of electrons
     • An example of this model is the "orbits" model
