prove the existence of other negatively charged particles in the atom.

means the atom is not the

smallest part of an element.

Weakness of Thomson's model: cannot explain the arrangement of positive and negative charges in the
atomic sphere.

The advantages of Rutherford: make the hypothesis that atoms are composed of nuclei and electrons
that surround the nucleus.

Weaknesses of Rutherford: cannot explain why electrons do not fall into the nucleus. Based on physics
theory, the movement of electrons around the nucleus is accompanied by the transmission of energy so
that over time the electron energy will decrease and its trajectory will increasingly approach the nucleus
and fall into the nucleus

The advantage of the Bohr atom is that the atom consists of several shells where electrons move. The
weakness of this atomic model is: it cannot explain the color spectrum of many electron atoms. So we
need a more perfect atomic model than the Bohr atomic model.
