In 1926, austrian physicist erwin schrodinger wondered why electrons had to be limited to specific orbitals as proposed by neils bohr. He proposed a new model in which electron move in cloudlike orbits rather than fixed ones. He said it is impossible to know the exact location of electrons. The best we can do is know where the electron probably is. Physicists still use the quantum model of the atom today.

What is the specific amount of energy an electron has?

An electron has no specific amount of energy. According to Bohr's Model of hydrogen atom, the energy of an electron in a shell is given by: E=-13.6x Z2/n2 E.V. Where Z is the atomic number of the atom, n is the shell number and E.V. is electron volt, the unit for energy 1E.V. = 1.6 x 10-19 J. But the Bohr's model was rejected and quantum mechanical model of an atom came into force where n=principal quantum number and l=Azimuthal quantum number are used to determine the energy of an atom. 'n' determines the energy to a larger extent and 'l' to a little extent.


Descibe Thomson atomic model?

J.J. Thompson was the person who suggested the plum pudding model for the atomic structure. He declared that the electrons are located between a cloud of the positive charges. This model was proven incorrect from the alpha particle experiment done by Ernest Rutherford.


What would happen if an atom of fluorine cameinto contact with an atom from neon?

If a fluorine atom came into contact with a neon atom, fluorine, being more reactive, would likely attempt to gain an electron from neon to achieve a stable electron configuration. This exchange could potentially form an ionic bond between the two atoms, resulting in the creation of a compound.


Who created the first model of a atom?

The Australian scientist, M Vella came up with this model in the late 1900's.


How did Ernest Rutherford change atomic model?

Before Rutherford, scientists assumed that the atom was a single particle. Rutherford presented his revolutionary, physical atomic model that suggested an atom consists of a central charge (the term 'nucleus' was coined after Rutherford's model was presented) that is surrounded, presumably, by a cloud of orbiting electrons. He showed that most of an atom's mass was located in the atom's nucleus. Rutherford's model was later improved upon by Niels Bohr, father of the Bohr-model. Rutherford made no connection to an element's atomic number and the number of protons within an atom's nucleus; however, his atomic model paved the way for the discovery of this correlation only a couple years after his model was designed.

What is the best describe the current model of an atom?

The current model of an atom is best described by the Solar System. The planets represent electrons while the sun represents the nucleus.

What is the plum pudding model and who come up with it?

The plum pudding model suggested that the electrons were dispersed throughout the atom (like chocolate chips in a cookie) and the space was positively charged so that in the end the atom was neutral. Today, people know that the electrons are in a "cloud" around the atom and the protons (and neutrons) are in the nucleus, at the center of the atom.


What areas did Niels Bohr make contributions in?

He made a model of the atom, with electrons circling the nucleus.
