Models of the atom

?
What was J.J. Thompson's model of the atom called?
The plum pudding model
1 of 6
What did the plum pudding model look like?
It had negatively charged 'electron plums' embedded in a uniform, positively charged 'dough'.
2 of 6
What did the plum pudding model show in terms of an atoms charge?
Both negative and positive charges existed in atoms and the atom had a neutral charge.
3 of 6
What did Rutherford's model of the atom look like?
It must contain a very small, positively charged nucleus which electrons orbit. The atom is mostly empty space and most of the mass is at the nucleus.
4 of 6
How was Rutherfords Hypothesis proved?
Geiger and Marsden fired alpha particles at gold film which showed some alpha particles scattered and some were undeflected.

What did the Bohr Model look like?
Electrons had to orbit a positive nucleus in well deined energu level orbits, but could move between energy levels if they gained or lost energy.
