Model of Atoms

• Bohr's Model consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons orbitting around the nucleus with a definite energy level.
• Dalton's Model consisted of a small solid sphere like a billiard ball
• Rutherford's Model consisted of a positively charged nucleus surrounded electrons orbitting without definite energy levels
• Thomson's Model consisted of the atom's sphere to be positively charged with electrons buried in it.
• Thomson first discovered the electrons
• Dalton stated that atoms were indivisible
• Dalton thought that atoms were the smallest known particle
• Rutherford discovered the nucleus
• The quantum mechanical model is the theory we use today
• the quantum mechanical model depicts that electron clouds is a space outside the nucleus where electrons are likely found
• the model that believed that electrons orbitted the nucleus like planets orbit the sun is bohr's model
