Bohr's model accounted for electrons that have different energies.
What are the features or characteristics of Bohr's model and Rutherford's model?
Bohr's model:
- Electrons can only rotate in specific authorized orbits that have a defined amount of energy associated to them. Accordingly, they are known as energy levels (K, L, M, N).
- Electrons do not radiate energy when they are spinning at the same energy level.
- The orbits with the lowest and highest energies are those that are closest to the nucleus.
- When we give an electron energy, it moves to a higher energy level and radiates energy when it returns to the lower level.
Rutherford's model:
- An element's atom is made up of a tiny, positively charged nucleus in the middle that contains practically the entire atom's mass.
- The electrons are rapidly rotating around the nucleus.
- An atom has the same number of protons and electrons as protons. It is therefore electrically neutral.
- When compared to the volume of the atom, the nucleus' volume is negligible.
- The majority of the atom's space is empty.
