I can give you the ideas but I’m not writing an essay for 5 points.

Bohr’s model showed the excited states of an electron. Or you could also say, the energy levels of the electron. Bohr’s model came last relative to Thomson’s and Rutherford’s.

JJ Thomson’s model was called the plum pudding model. He thought the atom had electrons imbedded into it. (First)

Rutherford disproved Thomson’s model with his scatter experiment with alpha particles. He shot alpha particles at a sheet of gold to see if they would pass through it or not. Some of the alpha particles bounced back towards him which made no sense according to Thomson’s model. This proved that atoms are mostly empty, but there is a clump of something in the center (Second)
