The Japanese scientist H. Nagaoka modelled the atom as a large positive sphere surrounded by a ring of negative electrons. The atom is compared with the planet Saturn, where the planet represents the positively charged part of the atom, and the rings represent the negatively charged electrons. This model was made in 1904. Information from Science9 by Nelson.

What atomic model is sometimes called the miniature solar system?

The atomic model sometimes called the miniature solar system is the Bohr model. This model depicts the atom with electrons orbiting around the nucleus in distinct energy levels, similar to how planets orbit around the sun in our solar system.


What does the wave mechanical model do that the solar system model failed to do?

Niels Bohr's "solar system" model of the atom was an attempt to explain the spectrum of the hydrogen atom. The model had a negative electron orbiting a positive proton, but the electron was only allowed to occupy particular energy levels. The model worked well, but lacked any theoretical basis. The wave mechanical model gave a reason for the restricted energy levels in terms of the wave properties of electrons. This developed into "quantum mechanics" which is probably the most important theory in modern physics.


Solar system model of the atom?

A many-particle system where the behavior of each particle at every instant depends on the positions of all the other particles cannot be solved directly. This is not a problem restricted to quantum mechanics. A classical system where the same problem arises is a solar system with several planets. In classical mechanics as well as in quantum mechanics, such a system has to be treated by approximate methods


What are the differences between the solar system and the structure of an atom?

Electrons orbit around the nucleus in all sorts of crazy shapes, where as planets orbit around the sun in just a circle. yes that's right but still there are some similarities and differences like the atom are disscused in subatomic energy and have subatomic particles


What was the Greeks model of the solar system?

The Greek model of the solar system was developed by one Claudius Ptolemy.

How do you describe a physical model of an atom?

It is similar to a solar system. The sun is the nucleus with protons and neutrons and the electrons are the planets.

How is the solar system similar to the bohr?

Both the solar system and the Bohr model of the atom have a central body (Sun or nucleus) orbited by smaller objects (planets or electrons) in defined paths. They both follow similar principles of circular motion and gravity/electromagnetic force governing the interactions between the central body and the orbiting objects.


Who purposed the Bohr atom?

Neils Bohr proposed Bohr model of the atom,which states that atom is a small,positively charged nucleus and is surrounded by electrons which travel in circular motions because of electrostatic forceand is similar to the solar system..


Atom and solar system equal?

The atom and the solar system are not equal. The solar system contains the sun and the other planets.


How does Bohr's model of the atom workin laymans terms?

The Bohr's atomic model is similar to planetary system.


What would you say if someone said to describe an atom?

The mechanical model shows the nucleus surrounded by electrons similar to the solar system. The quantum model shows a nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons shaped like a doughnut.


What does Bohr's model of the atom resemble the most?

Bohr's model of the atom resembles the solar system the most, as it depicts electrons orbiting the nucleus in fixed, circular paths like planets orbiting the sun. This model helped explain the stability of atoms by proposing that electrons exist in quantized energy levels.


What was Bohr's Simily for the atom?

Niels Bohr compared the atom to a miniature solar system, with the nucleus at the center like the sun and electrons orbiting around it in specific energy levels like planets. This was known as the Bohr model of the atom.


Is your solar system an atom?

No, the solar system is not a atom. Atoms make up things around you and are very, very small.


What did niels bohrs 1913 model of the atom look like?

Niels Bohr's 1913 model was the first to depict the atom as small positively charged nucleus in the center with negative charged electrons circling around it, similar in shape to the solar system. Though quantum theory has made his model obsolete. it is a simple and good enough approximation it's still be taught today when introducing students to the atom.
