With the result of the thin gold foil experiment, Rutherford revised the atomic model. Rutherford
reasoned that all of an atom’s positively charged particles were contained in the nucleus. The
negatively charged particles were scattered outside the nucleus around the atom’s edge.
JAMES CHADWICK
Chadwick was a student of Rutherford who refined the concept of the
nucleus. He discovered that the nucleus also contains neutral particles
which he called Neutrons. Protons and neutrons have approximately the
same mass, however neutrons do not have electrical charge.
NIELS BOHR
In 1913, the Danish scientist Niels Bohr proposed an improvement. He
transformed the model of the atom into one that is commonly used today.
In his model, he placed each electron in a specific energy level. According
to Bohr’s atomic model, electrons move in definite orbits around the
nucleus, much like planets circle the sun. These orbits, or energy levels,
are located at certain distances from the nucleus. He suggested that
electrons surround the nucleus in specific energy levels called shells.
Electrons jumps in these shells by losing or gaining energy. Each shell can
only contain specific number of electrons. The first shell contain a
maximum of 2 electrons. The second and third shell can contain a
maximum of 8 electrons.
ERWIN SCHRODINGER
Today’s atomic model was proposed by Erwin Schrodinger. It is based on the principles of wave
mechanics. According to the theory of wave mechanics, electrons do not move about an atom in a
definite path, like the planets around the sun. In fact, it is impossible to determine the exact location
of an electron. The probable location of an electron is based on how much energy the electron has.
According to the modern atomic model, at atom has a small positively charged nucleus surrounded by
a large region in which there are enough electrons to make an atom neutral.
A space in which electrons are likely to be found. Electrons whirl about the nucleus billions of times in
one second. They are not moving around in random patterns. Location of electrons depends upon how
much energy the electron has. Depending on their energy they are locked into a certain area in the
cloud. Electrons with the lowest energy are found in the energy level closest to the nucleus Electrons
with the highest energy are found in the outermost energy levels, farther from the nucleus.
