Plum-pudding model (1904)
Joseph John Thomson's model proposed that an atom has an overall neutral charge. In an atom, positive charges and negative charges are equal. -
Nuclear Model
Ernest Rutherford's model showed that atoms are mostly empty space. It's mass is concentrated in the centre. In an atom, electrons are found outside the nucleus. -
Planetary Model
Niels Bohr stated that electrons orbit the nucleus and have varying orbits. -
Quantum Mechanical Model
Erwin Schrödinger proposed that electrons don't move in orbits but exist at different levels. The electron cloud is where the negative charge comes from.
