Question

What did Bohr’s model of the atom include that Rutherford’s model did not have?

Answer 1

Bohr's model of the atom included energy levels that Rutherford's model did not have.

Further Explanation;

An atom  

• An atom is the smallest particle of an element that takes part in a chemical reaction.
• It is made up of a nucleus and energy levels.

• Atoms contain sub atomic particles; electrons found in the energy levels, neutrons and protons found in the nucleus of the atom.
• Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged while neutrons have no charge.
• The positive charge of protons gives nucleus a positive charge which attracts the opposite charged electrons.  
• This attraction holds electrons in atoms and holds atoms to one another in many compounds.

Rutherford' model

• According to Rutherford's model an atom contains a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons that travel in circular orbits around the nucleus similar to the structure of the Solar system.
• This model of the atom failed to explain why electrons were not pulled into the atomic nucleus by the attraction of opposite charges of the nucleus and electrons.

Bohr's model  

• According to Bohr's model such that an atom was made up of a nucleus which is positively charged and is encircled by electrons in fixed energy ranges called orbits or energy levels.  
• Bohr model showed that the electrons in atoms are in orbits of different energy around the nucleus.
• Therefore; Bohr model was able to conclude that the electrons were limited to existing in certain energy levels, like standing on the rungs of a ladder.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is energy levels.

Explanation:

Bohr gave the model for atom.

He said that atom consists of the energy levels in which the electrons are moving in the particular orbits.

The maximum number of electrons occupied in the energy level is $2n^{2}$.

Rutherford's model gave the location of the nucleus in the atom.

J.J Thomson discovered the electrons.

Therefore, Bohr's model included that Rutherford's model did not have energy level.
