Plum Pudding
Model
In Thomson'smodel,
the atom is composed
of electrons surrounded
by a soup of positive
charge to balance the
electrons' negative
charges, like negatively

Rutherfords
Atomic Model
TheRutherford modelis a
model of theatom devised
byErnest Rutherford.
Rutherford directed the
famousGeiger-Marsden
experimentin 1909 which
suggested, upon
Rutherford's 1911 analysis,
thatJ.J. Thomsonplum
pudding modelof the atom
was incorrect.

Quantum Model
No two electrons in an
atom can have exactly the
samequantumnumbers.
Orbitalquantumnumbers
tell you what energy level
the electron is in. In the
Bohrmodel, this represents
how high the orbit is above
the nucleus; higher orbits
have more energy. The first
orbit is n=1, the second is
n=2, and so on.
