    Rutherford's atomic model proposed that atoms have a small, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center with electrons orbiting around it. Bohr's atomic theory built upon this model by proposing that electrons orbit in specific energy levels and can jump between levels by absorbing or emitting energy. Bohr's theory explained the spectral lines of hydrogen and provided a framework for understanding electron behavior in atoms, marking an improvement over Rutherford's model that helped establish modern atomic theory.

    “RUTHERFORD AND BOHR’S MODEL / THEORIES”

    Q1) Do a comparative analysis of Rutherford’s atomic model and Bohr’s atomic theories postulates and
    results.

    A1) Rutherford's atomic model proposed that atoms have a small, dense, positively charged
    nucleus at the center, with negatively charged electrons orbiting around it. Bohr's atomic theory
    built upon Rutherford's model and proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy
    levels, and that they can jump between these levels by absorbing or emitting energy. Bohr's
    theory successfully explained the spectral lines of hydrogen and provided a framework for
    understanding the behavior of electrons in atoms. Overall, Bohr's theory was an improvement
    over Rutherford's model and helped lay the foundation for modern atomic theory.
