Honors Chem: Atomic Model

This was the first model of the atom ever proposed. It was simple and described atoms as tiny spheres that could not be broken down into smaller pieces.

• Democritus's model of the atom
• The "Plum Pudding Model" of the atom
• The "Rutherford Model" of the atom
• The "Solar System Model" of the atom

This model was developed after J.J. Thompson discovered electrons, a particle smaller than an atom. Is shows electrons floating freely in a positive space.

• The "Plum Pudding Model" of the atom
• The "Rutherford Model" of the atom
• Democritus's model of the atom
• The "Solar System Model" of the atom

This model added on to previous models by showing electrons existed at certain "energy levels". However is does not accurately show what those levels look like.

• The "Solar System Model" of the atom
• The "Rutherford Model" of the atom
• The "Plumb Pudding Model" of the atom
• The "Standard Model" of the atom
