Q

Name the scientific model of the atom order

A
  • Atoms as tiny indivisible spheres
  • The plum pudding model, a ball of positive charge with negative electrons embedded in it
  • The Nuclear model, scattering experiment with alpha beams being deflected.
  • Bohr, Electrons orbit the nucleus at specific distances
  • Chadwick, protons make up the positive charge and neutrons which have a mass but no charge are also found in the nucleus.
