The most current model of how the atom is constructed consists of electrons in constant motion around the nucleus, like waves in a probability field. Protons and neutrons vibrate inside the nucleus and quarks vibrate inside the protons and neutrons.

What model represents current atomic theory?

The most accurate, but not user friendly and usable model is the quantum mechanic atom model (QM model)


What best describes the nucleus of an atom?

It’s the most massive part of the atom


Why is the current atomic model called the electron cloud model?

The current atomic model is called the electron cloud model because it describes electrons not as particles located at specific positions, but as existing within a cloud-like region around the nucleus, where they are most likely to be found. This model acknowledges the dual wave-particle nature of electrons and provides a more accurate representation of their behavior in an atom.


Is each atom made up of neutrons and electrons?

It is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom, while the electrons are found moving around the outside of the nucleus. This is known as the "electron cloud" since the electrons move around randomly. The most current atom model is the Quantum Mechanical Model, if this helps.


What part of the atom takes up most of of its space?

The "Electron Shell" by the current model takes up the most space due to its location in any given place along a series of orbits, but has the least mass.


Was the quantum mechanical model of the atom proposed by Niels Bohr?

Yes, the quantum mechanical model of the atom was proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913. He incorporated the principles of quantization into the existing model of the atom to explain the stability of electron orbits and the emission of spectral lines.


What is Rutherfords model of the atom?

the nuclear model was its name. the theory behind this model is that 99.99% of the atom is empty space.the nucleus is what that is tiny and the most dense positive core.The nucleus contains protons. the nucleus is what weight the most in the atom


What was sir Ernest Rutherford's major contribution to science?

He completely changed the atomic model of his time to something that is quite similar to the current model of the atom. His "alpha scattering experiment" provided the evidence that the atom was mainly empty space, and that most of its mass and all of its positive charge was located in a small, dense core(now called the nucleus).


What does the Quantum Mechanical Model of the atom describe?

the most probable location of an electron


Who is work contributed most to the model of a atom?

Whose model of the atom is most like the one you accept today?

Bohr


What was Ernest Rutherford model of the atom?

Ernest Rutherford proposed the nuclear model of the atom in 1911, which suggested that an atom consists of a small, dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. This model was based on his gold foil experiment, which demonstrated that most of an atom's mass and positive charge is concentrated in its nucleus.
