Question

Based on the article "Will the real atomic model please

stand up?" describe one major change that occurred in
the development of the modem atomic model,

Answer 1

The one major change that occurred was the placement and organization of the electron. Rutherford's model identified that the electrons were at a distance from the nucleus, Bohr's model identified that the electrons occurred at levels that related to their available energy, and the modern atomic model shows that electrons are located in a predicted area but cannot be identified in a specific point.
