The Bohr model of the atom was proposed by Neil Bohr in 1915. It came into existence with the modification of Rutherford's model of an atom. 

Bohr Model

How does it look like

The Bohr Model is a planetary model in which the negatively charged electrons orbit a small, positively charged nucleus similar to the planets orbiting the sun.

Tiny Particles

Bohr’s model consists of a central nucleus surrounded by tiny particles called electrons that are orbiting the nucleus in a cloud. 

Advancement compared to the Rutherford model

The main difference between Bohr model and Rutherford model is that in Rutherford model, electrons can revolve in any orbit around the nucleus, whereas in Bohr model, electrons can revolve in a definite shell. Bohr’s improvement of the Rutherford model was that Bohr placed the electrons in distinct energy levels.

Theory of Bohr Model

The Bohr atomic model theory states that atoms are composed of a nucleus, which consists of one or more protons and neutrons that are held together by nuclear forces.

It is also known as a hydrogen atom model or the Rutherford-Bohr Atomic Model Theory.

The Rutherford Model

The atomic theory began to flourish in the early 19th century in the work of the British chemist John Dalton.

How does it look like

The model consists of a positively charged central nucleus containing almost all mass, surrounded by a negatively charged cloud of planetary electrons.

Tiny Particles

The model describes an atom as a tiny, dense, positively charged core called the nucleus, in which nearly all of its mass is concentrated, and light, the negative component, called electrons, circulates over a distance, like around the sun Like a spinning planet.
