Which scientist developed atomic model?

The modern atomic model is elaborated by Niels Bohr.


How did niels bohr differ from ernest Rutherford?

By him being him.


Who did Niels Bohr work with?

JJ Thomson, Ernest Rutherford


What year did Niels Bohr find that most of an atom mass is in the nucleus?

This discovery is from Ernest Rutherford (approx. 1913).


What scientist said most of the mass of the atom is in tiny dense positively charged nucleus?

Ernest Rutherford suggested that most of the mass of the atom is located in the nucleus. He came to this conclusion after finding the results on his famous gold foil experiment. This is where he fired radio active particles through very thin metal foils, and detected them using screens covered in zinc sulphide.


Who said that electrons orbit an atom like planets orbit the sun?

Niels Bohr developed the theory. However, Ernest Rutherford was really the first to think of it.


How was Niels Bohr educated?

Niels Bohr was educated in Denmark at the University of Copenhagen, and in the UK at the University of Cambridge and the Victoria University of Manchester. He studied nuclear physics under British physicists Sir Joseph John Thomson Ernest Rutherford.


What was Niels Bohr's favorite color?

Ernest Rutherford's favorite colour was green. Although he liked a lot of other colours too. His absolute favorite colour was green.


What was Ernest Rutherford's an Niels Bohr's most famous discovery?

The short answer is that Ernest Rutherford discovered the nucleus of the atom and was a mentor to Niels Bohr who further refined the model by showing that the nucleus was made up of neutrons and protons. The existence of electrons had already been inferred earlier. Ernest Rutherford opened the door to the field of nuclear physics whereas Niels Bohr's contributions pointed the way to quantum physics. At the time, it was noted that the nucleus within the atom takes up about as much space as a fly in a cathedral. Since then, it has been shown that the subatomic particles are themselves made up mostly of vast empty spaces containing tiny specs of something that may be described as either energy or matter or neither and both.


What atomic scientist said electrons move in empty space in the atom?

Ernest Rutherford (a chemist who is known as the "father of nuclear physics), Niels Bohr, Einstein, Chadwick, Heisenberg, Pauli, Schroedinger, Hund


Who discovered the bohr model?

Niels Bohr (1885-1962) was a young Danish physicist and a student of Rutherford. He believed Rutherford's model needed improvement. So in 1913 Bohr changed Rutherford's model to include newer discoveries about how the energy of an atom changes when it absorbs or emits light. He considered the simplest atom, hydrogen, which has one electron. Bohr proposed that an electron is found only in specific circular paths, or orbits, around the nucleus.

Who was one of the greatest scientists of modern history who predicted things about splitting the atom?

A great number of scientists worked on atomic fission, including particularly Ernest Rutherford, Niels Bohr, Wolfgang Pauli or Enrico Fermi.
