Atomic Theory — Quiz

Question 1 • Physical Science

What did Bohr’s model of the atom include that Rutherford’s model did not have?

Answer
A
energy levels
B
electron clouds
C
a nucleus
D
smaller particles

Explanation

Bohr’s model added specific energy levels, or shells, where electrons could orbit the nucleus. Rutherford’s model proposed a central nucleus with electrons around it, but did not describe electrons as occupying set energy levels. Electron clouds belong to a later model, so the correct choice is energy levels.
