Question

Compare similarities and differences between the Plum Pudding Model, Nuclear Model and Bohr Model (6 marks)

Answer 1

Answer:

The three models describes the structure of an atom based on different views.

Explanation:

Plum pudding model described the atom of consisting of negatively charged electrons embedded in positively charged substrates; this was later proven to be false. The Bohr's model described the electrons in an atom to orbit round the nucleus at different energy, the closer it's to the nucleus, the lesser the energy it needs. The Rutherford model claims the the nucleus of the atom contains protons and neutrons which forms the mass of the atom, the electrons surrounds the nucleus and it forms the volume of the atom.
