Compare the position of the electrons in bohr's model of the atom with their positions according to modern atomic theory?

Answer 1

The Bohr atom imagined that electrons orbit the nucleus in much the same way that planets orbit the sun. The modern atomic model has electrons in the form of a cloud that surrounds the nucleus without actually moving in orbit around it. Moving electrons would have to emit photons, lose energy, and spiral into the nucleus, thus destroying the atom. They don't really orbit.

Answer 2

Bohrs model of the atom placed electrons in pairs on circular orbits around the nucleus. The modern atomic theory places the electrons in orbital clouds where they will most likely be found based on the atoms electron amount.

Answer 3

Bohr's model used orbits to describe the location of electrons while the "modern model" uses orbitals instead. This is because it is not possible to simultaneously know the position as well as the momentum of its electrons. We must assume that the electron is question is in an orbital, a volume and space where the electron is most likely to be found.

Bohr imagined the orbits of electronsto be like the orbits of the planets, very exact. The modern model is based on a 90/95% probability of finding the electrons in certain regions called orbitals which are 3 dimensional.

Answer 4

In the modern atomic theory an electron's exact location cannot be determined, while in Bohr's atomic theory have set paths around the nucleus basically like how the planets orbit the Sun.

Answer 5

compare the position of the electrons in bohr's model of the atom with their position according to modern atomic theory

Answer 6

Modern atomic theory electrons are in constant motion around the nucleus, closer to the exterior. Bohrs model represents the electrons closer to the center.
