Compare+and+Contrast

Each of the five models (Dalton’s, Bohr’s, Rutherford’s, Thomson’s and Schrodinger’s) that are shown in this wikispace shares certain traits and differences.

Dalton’s model is the most unlike the other models. This is because it doesn’t have any substructure and is only a solid ball. It only similarities are that it has a main object that is spherical.

Thomson’s model was the first to include substructure and have electrons. It did not have the electron orbiting and the protons and neutrons are not there unlike Bohr's and Schrodinger's.

Rutherford's model has an nucleus and the electrons are orbiting it. The protons are the only thing in the nucleus and neutrons are not in the model. The electron orbit randomly around the nucleus unlike Bohr's.

Bohr's model had all of the subatomic particles and had an nucleus. the nucleus is made of protons and neutrons. His electrons orbit on path passed on energy levels unlike the random Rutherford's and Schrodinger's.

Schrodinger's model has all the subatomic particles (electron, neutrons, protons), has electron orbiting an nucleus and a nucleus made of protons and neutrons. The electrons orbit in an electron cloud that is a mix of Rutherford's randomness and Bohr's energy levels.
