The Bohr model describes an atom as having a central nucleus where most of the mass is concentrated, around which electrons orbited at discrete distances, somewhat like the solar system with the sun where the atom's nucleus would be (and again, most of the mass) and the planets orbiting it. In an atom, electrostatic forces attract the electrons to the nucleus; in the solar system, gravity is the binding force.

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.

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.

Bohr model of atom?

The atomic model of Niels Bohr is similar to planetary system of Sun (Sun being the equivalent of the atomic nucleus).


Why was Bohr's model called a planetary model?

Because it postulates that the nuclei is in the center and electrons are spinning around the nuclei on its orbitals which is very similar to the planetary model of our solar system.
