Answer:

No comparison => John Dalton did NOT postulate an atomic structure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dalton's postulates are based upon generalizations of observable phenomena. Micro structure was not proposed. The atomic structure that's accepted in the scientific community evolved from conclusions of ...

Thompson's raisen pudding model => electrons suspended in a positive matrix

Rutherford's shell model => dense positive nucleus surrounded by an electron cloud. (No fine structure postulated)

Bohr Concentric Ring Model => electrons orbiting a positive nucleus in discrete energy levels much like planets orbiting the sun.

Schrodinger - Dirac Quantum Models => electrons occupying specific orbital energy levels as based upon statistical wave mechanics.
