Question 6 • TOL-202627-S1-SCI-Physical Science 1A - Zisette, Jennifer

Bohr’s atomic model differed from Rutherford's because it explained that

Answer
A
electrons exist in specified energy levels surrounding the nucleus.
B
electrons are embedded within the rest of the atom like plum pudding.
C
an atom is an indivisible sphere.
D
electrons circle the nucleus.

Explanation

Bohr’s model added the idea that electrons can occupy only specified energy levels around the nucleus. Rutherford’s model described a central nucleus with electrons around it but did not explain these fixed energy levels. Therefore, the correct choice is “electrons exist in specified energy levels surrounding the nucleus.”
