In 1897 J. J. Thomson discovered the In 1897 J. J. Thomson discovered the electronelectron
Atoms were known to be electrically Atoms were known to be electrically neutral which meant that there had to neutral which meant that there had to
be some positively charged matter be some positively charged matter

Ernest Rutherford’s Ernest Rutherford’s experiment disproved the experiment disproved the plum pudding model of plum pudding model of the atom and suggested the atom and suggested that there was a that there was a positively charged positively charged nucleus because many of nucleus because many of the alpha particles hit the the alpha particles hit the thin gold foil and bounced thin gold foil and bounced backback
BUT, Rutherford’s atomic model could not explain the chemical properties of elements
The Bohr ModelThe Bohr Model
He noticed that light He noticed that light given out when given out when
atoms were heated atoms were heated always had specific always had specific amounts of energy, amounts of energy, so he proposed that so he proposed that electrons in an atom electrons in an atom must be orbiting the must be orbiting the

In 1913, Niels Bohr came up with a new In 1913, Niels Bohr came up with a new modelmodel (Bohr was a student of (Bohr was a student of Rutherford)Rutherford)
Energy LevelsEnergy Levels
Energy levels – fixed energy Energy levels – fixed energy that an electron can havethat an electron can have
This is similar to steps of a This is similar to steps of a ladderladder
Quantum – amount of energy Quantum – amount of energy required to move an electron required to move an electron from one energy level to from one energy level to another energy level (to be another energy level (to be quantized)quantized)
