Bohr's Model vs Modern Theory
80
Modern day electron cloud theory
Unlike Bohr's model, this realistic depiction of atoms actually show what an atom should realistically look like. It shows the density of the electrons that circle at differing distances to the nucleus. The problem is that it doesn't give detail about the atom's makeup and it doesn't show a specific atom. It instead shows what all atoms look like in a more realistic fashion.
Bohr's Model vs Modern Theory
The Atom
(no pun intended!!!!!!!)
There are currently two accepted ways to describe atoms: Bohr's model and the modern day electron cloud theory. They both have their ups and their downs, but first let me show you Bohr's model.
Why Bohr is Better
In science today, we use Bohr's model to describe atoms. We use it because it give us information on the makeup of a specific atom. Although it doesn't show what an atom looks like, it still gives us the information we need to visualize a specific atom and its make up. So, I could say that Bohr is better.
Bohr's Model
Niel's Bohr cam eup with this theory that atoms had these electrons that circled at different distances around the nucleus. This is a good way to show an atom because it shows the type of atom with detail of its makeup.
