Thomson's raisin bun model proposed that electrons are embedded within a positive sphere like raisins in a bun, while Bohr's solar system model suggested that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed paths like planets around the Sun. Thomson's model did not take into account the discrete energy levels of electrons, which Bohr's model successfully explained by introducing quantized electron orbits.

  • In Thomson's model of the atom the electrons were imbedded in the mass of the atom (like raisins in a bun) directly with the protons and neutrons.
  • In Bohr's model the electrons "orbited" a central nucleus composed of the protons and neutrons (like planets orbiting the sun)

The analogies of both were highly inaccurate compared to what both theories actually said. Bohr's theory correctly predicted spectral lines and Thomson's didn't.

What did bohrs atomic model look like?

The usual idea of the atomic model is a nucleus composed of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in orbit in shells of increasing diameter. This helps to visualise the difference between atoms. Quantum theory is that this simple model is not accurate, but it does have the virtue of being easily understood.


What is Bohr atomic model name?

Neil Bohrs atomic model is simply called Bohrs model. It states that electrons have a certain amount of energy, so they must follow certain orbits. This is different from the modern atomic model.
