Question

The Rutherford's Atomic Model was revised by _____________

Answer 1

Explanation,

1. Rutherford’s atomic model was revised by Neil Bohr.
2. Both the models depict the electrons revolving around the nucleus
3. But Rutherford's model failed to define the energy levels in an atom whereas the Bohr model explains the energy level in an atom.
4. Bohr's model of the atom was proposed by Neil Bohr in 1915.
5. It came into existence with the modification of Rutherford’s model of an atom.
6. Rutherford’s model introduced the nuclear model of an atom, in which he explained that a nucleus that is positively charged is surrounded by negatively charged electrons.

This figure represents the Rutherford's model that only shows the structure of electrons and protons in the atom and how electrons revolve around the nucleus.

This diagram represents the Bohr's Model as it shows the different energy levels of electrons revolving around the nucleus which the Rutherford's Model fails to explain.
