Question

Describe the main difference between the bohr model of the atom and the Rutherford model

Answer 1

In the Rutherford model, electrons can exist in any location outside the nucleus.

In the Bohr model, electrons can exist only in certain energy levels surrounding the atom.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Bohr's Explanation of Stability. The Rutherford model had one problem: the energy expended by the orbiting electrons would eventually cause them to collapse into the nucleus, making the atom unstable. To explain the orbital model, Bohr proposed a quantum theory of electron rotation.
