Question

Which model of the atom was modeled after the solar system?

a. thomson's model
b. bohr's model
c. rutherford's model
d. dalton's model?

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. bohr's model

According to it, an atom consists of a neutron-proton center that has electrons fly around it. Similarly to how the planets go around the sun.

Answer 2

Bohr's model was known as the solar system model. This is because he envisioned electrons as orbiting the nucleus in circles, and the force that kept that together was electrostatic attraction. This is analogous to the solar system model, where planets orbit the sun in a manner (although not in a circle) controlled by gravity.
