Bohr's Model of the Atom Quiz

Neil Bohr proposed the Bohr model of the atom in 1915.

Rutherford's model introduced the nuclear model of an atom with a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. Bohr modified this model by explaining that electrons move in fixed orbitals (shells) with fixed energy levels.

Bohr modified Rutherford's model by introducing the concept of electrons moving in fixed orbitals (shells) with fixed energy levels, as opposed to moving anywhere in between orbits.
