How did Niels Bohr's model of an atom differ from that of his predecessor Ernest Rutherford?

The orbital revolutionof the electron is not expected to be stable.Any particle in a circular orbit would undergo accleration.
During accleration,charged particles would radiate energy.Thus,revolving electrons would lose energy and finally fall into nucleus.If they were so,the atom would be highly unstable and hence matter would not exist in the form that we know.We know that atoms are quite stable.

and fixed a circular orbit around the nucleus.

Can both Rutherford and Bohrs model of the atom explain spectra lines of elements?
Bohr model explain these spectra.
What is the nickname for bohrs model of atoms?
the planetary model
Why was bohrs model accepted widely?
yep- pretty sure
Calculte the radius of bohrs second orbit for He plus cation?
1.058
What was Niels Bohrs major discovery?
it means you smell and need to get a life :D:D x
How was bohrs atomic model similar to Rutherford's model?
atoms
Can both Rutherford and Bohrs model of the atom explain spectra lines of elements?
Bohr model explain these spectra.
How did Niels Bohr's model of the atom different from Rutherford model?
first the positive and negative charges are separated on the models and technically speaking, niels bohrs is more advanced and more accurate. Bohr's atomic model was based on quantisation of energy and angular momentum of the electron whereas Rutherford does not give an idea of permitted orbits.
Which model of the atom first proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus?
Now, an advanced model derived from the Niels Bohr theory.
What was niel bohrs discovery?
The Bohr model!
What is the nickname for bohrs model of atoms?
the planetary model

Why could bohrs model be called the planetary model of the atom?

what did bohrs model of the atom include that rutherfords model did not have?
Niels Bohr introduced the notion of electronic orbits.

What was James Chadwick's model to understand the atom?
It added on Niels Bohrs model and his research. And anika's cool :D
